Opinion
A89A2080.
DECIDED FEBRUARY 5, 1990.
Child molestation. Floyd Superior Court. Before Judge Matthews.
Hollingsworth Richardson, W. Gene Richardson, for appellant.
Stephen F. Lanier, District Attorney, C. Stephen Cox, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.
Defendant appeals his conviction of child molestation, OCGA § 16-6-4.
1. Although the testimony of the minor prosecuting witness was somewhat contradictory and there were conflicts with other evidence offered by the State, viewed in a light favorable to the verdict there was sufficient evidence to authorize a rational trier of fact to find defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the offense charged. Weeks v. State, 187 Ga. App. 307, 308 (1) ( 370 S.E.2d 344) (1988); Hicks v. State, 175 Ga. App. 243, 244 (4) ( 333 S.E.2d 113) (1985).
2. Defendant asserts error in permitting the jury, upon request, to view again a videotape of an interview between a police officer and the prosecuting witness.
"Whether or not to grant the jury's request to rehear portions of the evidence is within the discretion of the trial judge." Morris v. State, 254 Ga. 273, 274 (2) ( 328 S.E.2d 547) (1985). Defendant failed to carry his burden of showing an abuse of discretion in this instance. Lumpkin v. State, 182 Ga. App. 505, 506 (4) ( 356 S.E.2d 238) (1987); Haynes v. State, 180 Ga. App. 202 (2) ( 349 S.E.2d 208) (1986).
Judgment affirmed. Carley, C. J., and McMurray, P. J., concur.
