Opinion

65423.

DECIDED MARCH 10, 1983.

Armed robbery. Fulton Superior Court. Before Judge Williams.

Earl A. Davidson, J. Russell Mayer, for appellant.

Lewis R. Slaton, District Attorney, Joseph J. Drolet, H. Allen Moye, Wendy Shoob, Assistant District Attorneys, for appellee.


Appellant and his co-defendant (see Moore v. State, 165 Ga. App. 65 ( 300 S.E.2d 543) (1983)) were convicted of four counts of armed robbery and one count of aggravated sodomy. In his sole enumeration of error, appellant challenges the sufficiency of the evidence. We affirm.

Appellant's convictions arose from two robberies of an Atlanta package store whose owner identified appellant as one of the two armed men who robbed the store and several of its customers on October 29, 1981, and again on November 9, 1981. A customer/victim also identified appellant as one of the perpetrators. During the later holdup, while appellant remained with the store owner, his co-defendant forced a young woman store employee to commit an act of sodomy. The above-summarized evidence was sufficient to authorize a rational trier of fact to conclude that appellant was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the offenses charged. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560); OCGA §§ 16-8-41 (a) (Code Ann. § 26-1902); 16-6-2 (a) (Code Ann. § 26-2002); 16-2-20 (Code Ann. § 26-801).

Judgment affirmed. McMurray, P. J., and Birdsong, J., concur.

DECIDED MARCH 10, 1983.
