Question Presented (from Petition)

1. Whether, upon invalidating one of two alternative theories of liability presented to a jury, the reviewing court should ask if there is "sufficient evidence" to justify predicating liability on the remaining theory of liability; a "reasonable probability" that the jury so found; or "evidence beyond a reasonable doubt" that the jury so found?
