    In Porter v. State, 200 Ga. 246, 36 S.E.2d 794 (1946), the current test was set out: "The burden is on the accused to sustain his defense of alibi to the reasonable satisfaction of the jury in order to overcome proof of his guilt of the crime with which he is charged.

    the defendant as principal in the second degree, the guilt of the principal in the first degree must be shown by the introduction of the record of his indictment and verdict of guilty. That one indicted as the principal perpetrator of a crime may be convicted as a principal in the second degree where the facts on his trial show that the crime was committed by another and the defendant was present, aiding and abetting in the felonious design, has been ruled in innumerable decisions of this court, among which are: Hill v. State, 28 Ga. 604; Leonard v. State, 77 Ga. 764; Collins v. State, 88 Ga. 347 ( 14 S.E. 474); McLeod v. State, 128 Ga. 17 (3) ( 57 S.E. 83); Bradley v.

In Nelson v. State, supra, it was pointed out that this principle was reasserted in Johnson v. State, 151 Ga. 21 (2) ( 105 S.E. 603), where Washington v. State, 36 Ga. 222, and Shaw v. State, 40 Ga. 120, holding otherwise, were reviewed and expressly overruled in so far as they were in conflict with what was ruled in the Johnson case, and it was stated in that case that they were at variance with the older case of Hill v. State, supra.
