Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

PHIPPS, Presiding Judge.

Walter James Holder was convicted of burglary,1 four counts of kidnapping,2 four counts of armed robbery,3 and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.4 On appeal, Holder contends that: (1) the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions; (2) the trial court erred in its charge to the jury; and (3) he received ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Because we find that the evidence was insufficient to support the conviction on one of the kidnapping counts, we reverse that conviction. We affirm the convictions on the remaining counts.
