Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court
Ellington, Judge.
A Fulton County jury convicted Lewis Higgins of three counts of aggravated sodomy, OCGA § 16-6-2 (a), two counts of aggravated child molestation, OCGA § 16-6-4 (c), and three counts of child molestation, OCGA § 16-6-4 (a). The trial court granted Higgins’ motion for an out-of-time appeal, and Higgins filed his appeal with this Court. Higgins contends his trial counsel was ineffective, the trial court erred in denying his motion for a continuance and in admitting certain evidence, and the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions. Finding no error, we affirm.
