Court of Appeals of Georgia

1Opinion of the Court

Banke, Judge.

The defendant appeals from the denial of his motion for new trial following his conviction for burglary. Held:

1. The victim testified that he found some of the stolen property on the defendant’s premises shortly after the burglary and that the defendant later admitted his guilt to him. This was amply sufficient to enable a rational trier of fact to find the appellant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. See Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979). The first three enumerations of error are without merit.
