1Opinion of the Court

Blackburn, Presiding Judge.

Following his conviction of armed robbery by a jury, Jamal Justice appeals, contending the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict. We affirm.

On appeal from a criminal conviction, the evidence is viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict. We do not weigh the evidence or determine witness credibility but only determine whether the evidence is sufficient under Jackson v. Virginia. The verdict must be upheld if any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt.
