Bone v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

Mikell, Judge.

After a bench trial in the Superior Court of Houston County, Eric Milton Bone was convicted of possession of methamphetamine, giving a false name, misdemeanor obstruction and insufficient taillights. Bone appeals the trial court’s denial of his motion for directed verdict and motion for new trial. Finding no reversible error, we affirm.

“On appeal from a criminal conviction, the evidence must be construed in a light most favorable to the verdict and [Bone] no longer enjoys a presumption of innocence.” An appellate court does not weigh the evidence or determine witness credibility.
