Young v. State
Court of Appeals of Georgia
1Opinion of the Court
Miller, Judge.
Following a bench trial, Jeffrey A. Young was convicted of one count of simple battery. Young appeals from the denial of his motion for new trial, challenging the sufficiency of the evidence. Discerning no error, we affirm.
On appeal from a criminal conviction,
we view the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict, and the defendant no longer enjoys the presumption of innocence. We do not weigh the evidence or assess witness credibility, but merely determine whether the evidence was sufficient to find the defendant guilty of the charged offense beyond a reasonable doubt.
