Lammerding v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

Johnson, Presiding Judge.

On appeal, we view the evidence in the light most favorable to support the verdict, and we no longer presume that the appellant is innocent.1 Moreover, we do not weigh the evidence or determine witness credibility.2 Instead, we only determine if there is sufficient evidence from which the jury could have found the appellant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.3
