Opinion

61606.

DECIDED MARCH 18, 1981. REHEARING DENIED MARCH 19, 1981.

Armed robbery. Fulton Superior Court. Before Judge Alverson.

J. Douglas Willix, for appellants.

Lewis R. Slaton, District Attorney, Joseph J. Drolet, Margaret v. Lines, R. Andrew Weathers, Assistant District Attorneys, for appellee.

BANKE, Judge.

The appellants, Antonio Robinson and L. C. Gibson, were convicted of armed robbery. On appeal, their sole contention is that the evidence was insufficient to support the verdict. Held:

The evidence presented by the state was sufficient to enable a rational trier of fact to find the appellants guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. See generally Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560) (1979). The conflict between the appellants' version of what happened and that of the state's witnesses was for the jury to resolve. See Jones v. State, 147 Ga. App. 296 ( 248 S.E.2d 557) (1978); Bradham v. State, 148 Ga. App. 89 (1) ( 250 S.E.2d 801) (1978).

Judgment affirmed. Deen, P. J., and Carley, J., concur.

DECIDED MARCH 18, 1981.
