Matthews v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

Pope, Senior Appellate Judge.

Michelle B. Matthews appeals following her conviction by a jury of six counts of felony theft by taking. We affirm.

1. Matthews first contends that the state failed to present sufficient evidence to support the jury’s verdict. “On appeal the evidence must be viewed in the light most favorable to support the verdict, and appellant no longer enjoys a presumption of innocence; moreover, an appellate court determines evidence sufficiency and does not weigh the evidence or determine witness credibility.” (Citation omitted.)
