McClain v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

Decided February 28, 2001No. A01A0740Published

1Opinion of the Court

Barnes, Judge.

Johnny Isaiah McClain appeals from his conviction of aggravated assault, contending insufficient evidence supports his conviction and that the trial court erred in allowing an incompetent witness to testify. For reasons that follow, we affirm.

1. We must review McClain’s “challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence under the standard of Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) [(1979)], construing the evidence and all reasonable inferences from the evidence most strongly in favor of the jury’s verdict.” Sims v. State, 226 Ga. App. 116 (1) (486 SE2d 365)…
