Relies on Jackson v. Virginia · 149 Ga. App. 33 - Dent v. State

Decided 1980-05-27

Shulman, Judge.

¶1Defendant appeals on the general grounds her conviction of burglary.

¶2In view of the testimony of defendant’s purported accomplice, implicating defendant in the commission of the crime (though contradicted by the defendant), coupled with defendant’s presence near the scene of the crime (waiting in the driver’s seat of an automobile near the burglarized premises), we find that a rational trier of fact could reasonably have found defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the offense charged. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560). See also Dent v. State, 149 Ga. App. 33 (253 SE2d 431).

¶3Judgment affirmed.
