Dumas v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

290 S.E.2d 180 (Ga. Ct. App. 1982)

Opinion

63316.

DECIDED APRIL 8, 1982.

Aggravated assault. Fulton Superior Court. Before Judge Langford.

Charles R. Floyd, Jr., Amy Watson Stewart, for appellant. Lewis R. Slaton, District Attorney, Joseph J. Drolet, Scott Childress, Benjamin H. Oehlert III, Assistant District Attorneys, for appellee.


Appellant appeals from his conviction of aggravated assault with intent to rape, enumerating only the general grounds.

The evidence amply supports the verdict of guilty. See Middlebrooks v. State, 156 Ga. App. 319 (1) ( 274 S.E.2d 643) (1980). "Issues regarding credibility of witnesses must be resolved solely by the jury. [Cit.] In this instance the jury, obviously, chose to believe the state's witnesses." Redd v. State, 154 Ga. App. 373 (1) ( 268 S.E.2d 423) (1980). After a review of the entire record, we find that any rational trior of fact could reasonably have found from the evidence adduced at trial proof of appellant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560) (1979).

Judgment affirmed. Quillian, C. J. and Shulman, P. J., concur.

DECIDED APRIL 8, 1982.
