Question Presented (AI Summary)

Did the state court unreasonably apply Jackson v. Virginia when it determined that evidence presented at trial was sufficient to sustain Terry's conviction on count three (molestation of victim S.B.) where the victim testified that it was her father, Jonathan, and not the Petitioner Terry who touched her and where the victim's description of the contact—painless pinching and squeezing—fails to meet the Louisiana statutory definition of molestation?
