Williams v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

315 S.E.2d 293 (Ga. Ct. App. 1984)

Opinion

67415.

DECIDED FEBRUARY 9, 1984.

Armed robbery. Bulloch Superior Court. Before Judge Hawkins.

Robert Simmons Lanier, Jr., for appellant.

J. Lane Johnston, District Attorney, M. Allen Price, Jr., Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.


Appellant was convicted of two armed robberies and appeals only on the general grounds. After arrest, despite the sheriff's protestations, appellant voluntarily admitted committing the robberies. Subsequently, after being properly advised of his Miranda rights (Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 ( 86 SC 1602, 16 L.Ed.2d 694)), appellant made a written confession to the two robberies. Additionally, the victim of each robbery identified appellant positively as the person who robbed them. This evidence is sufficient to meet the standards of proof required by Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560).

Judgment affirmed. Quillian, P. J., and Pope, J., concur.

DECIDED FEBRUARY 9, 1984.
