Legally sufficient evidence means evidence which, if accepted as true, would establish every element of an offense charged and the defendant's commission of the offense.
Legally sufficient evidence means that the non-moving party “cannot sustain this burden by offering a mere scintilla of evidence, amounting to no more than surmise, possibility, or conjecture.” Id. at 647-48. “In other words, where it is manifest to the court upon the plaintiff’s own showing and the uncontradicted evidence in the case that there is no rational ground upon which a verdict can be based for the plaintiff, it becomes the duty of the court to direct a verdict for the defendant.” Address, 208 Md. App. at 80-81 (citation and internal quotation marks omitted). On the other hand, “[i]f there be any evidence, however slight, legally sufficient as tending to prove [the plaintiff’s claim,] the weight and value of such evidence will be left to the jury.” Myers v. Bright, 327 Md. 395, 399 (1992) (citations and internal quotation marks omitted).
