1Opinion of the Court

Eldridge, Judge.

Vickie Michelle Johnson appeals her conviction on three charges of cruelty to children. Her sole enumeration of error challenges the sufficiency of the evidence. Held:

On appeal [,] the evidence must be viewed in a light most favorable to the verdict, and appellant no longer enjoys a presumption of innocence; moreover, on appeal this court determines evidence sufficiency, and does not weigh the evidence or determine witness credibility. [Cits.]
