“Speaking for this Court, Judge Jackson recently said in Powell v. State (1970), 254 Ind. 200 , 258 N. E. 2d 633 , 635: “. . . The rule is well settled in Indiana that a conviction will be sustained if there is any evidence of probative value of the facts essential to support the judgment. Mathews v. State (1967), 248 Ind. 563 , 228 N. E. 2d 1 ; Majko v. State (1965), 246 Ind. 506 , 207 N. E. 2d 212 . When the question of the sufficiency of the evidence is raised, this Court will consider only that evidence most favorable to the State, together with all the reasonable inferences to be drawn therefrom, to determine whether the jury was warranted in returning a verdict of guilty. Butler v. State (1967), 249 Ind. 484 , 229 N. E. 2d 471 . Also, on appeal, this Court will not weigh the evidence nor will it determine the credibility of the witnesses. Stock v. State (1966), 247 Ind. 532 , 219 N. E. 2d 809 .””
