1Opinion of the CourtChief Justice Toal

Clarence Logan (Appellant) challenges his conviction for attempted criminal sexual misconduct in the first degree (CSC-First). Appellant argues that the trial court erred in providing the circumstantial evidence charge this Court articulated in State v. Grippon, 327 S.C. 79, 489 S.E.2d 462 (1997). According to Appellant, this charge is no longer valid in light of this Court’s decisions in State v. Bostick, 392 S.C. 134, 708 S.E.2d 774 (2011) and State v. Odems, 395 S.C. 582, 720 S.E.2d 48 (2011). We affirm Appellant’s conviction.
