1Opinion of the Court

Ruffin, Judge.

A Lowndes County jury found Ceasar Fuentes guilty of burglary. In two enumerations of error, Fuentes challenges the sufficiency of the evidence. We affirm.

On appeal, this Court views the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict, and the defendant no longer enjoys a presumption of innocence. London v. State, 235 Ga. App. 30, 31 (508 SE2d 247) (1998). We neither weigh the evidence nor assess the credibility of witnesses, but merely determine whether the evidence was sufficient under the standard enunciated in Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560)…
