1. “The issue when reviewing a conviction for sufficiency of the evidence is whether, based on the evidence presented, a rational finder of fact could have found the accused guilty of the charged offenses beyond a reasonable doubt. Leaving the resolution of conflicting or contradictory testimony and the credibility of the witnesses to the jury, we construe the evidence in favor of the jury’s verdicts. In this regard, even though a witness may recant on the stand, [his] prior inconsistent statements constitute substantive evidence on which the jury may rely. (Footnotes omitted.) Gunsby v. State [, 248 Ga. App. 18 ( 545 SE2d 56 ) (2001)].”
