Opinion

62404.

DECIDED SEPTEMBER 22, 1981.

Aggravated assault. Jefferson Superior Court. Before Judge Hartley.

Jerry M. Daniel, for appellant.

H. R. Thompson, District Attorney, William H. McClain, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.


In this appeal from her conviction for aggravated assault, the appellant contends that the verdict was contrary to the evidence and that the court's charge was not adjusted to the evidence. Held:

1. The evidence was sufficient to enable a rational trier of fact to find the appellant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. See Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560) (1979).

2. The court's charge was not in error for any reason argued.

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


DECIDED SEPTEMBER 22, 1981.
