1Opinion of the Court

Sognier, Judge.

Clarence and Katheryn Jones were tried jointly and convicted of burglary.

1. Appellant Katheryn Jones contends it was error to deny her motion for a directed verdict of acquittal. Evidence was presented showing that Katheryn Jones was a participant in the events leading up to, and following, the burglary of which she was convicted. The evidence did not demand a verdict of acquittal or not guilty and hence, the trial court did not err in denying the motion for a directed verdict of acquittal. Code Ann. § 27-1802; Gregg v. State, 233 Ga. 117 (3) (210 SE2d 659) (1974).
