Smith v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

Johnson, Presiding Judge.

After a bench trial, Damarcus Smith was found guilty of burglary and attempted burglary. He challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support the convictions, urging that the jury should have believed his testimony that he did not knowingly participate in the crimes with his co-defendant. Smith claims that the jury should not have believed the officer’s testimony that he admitted committing the crimes and urges that the state’s case was based entirely upon circumstantial evidence. Smith’s arguments present no grounds for reversal, so we affirm his convictions.
