Stills v. State, 327 Ga. App. 767

Stills appeals his convictions for conspiracy to commit armed robbery, armed robbery, attempted armed robbery, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, challenging sufficiency of the evidence.
The indictment named the victim as Franco Bernardo, but the surname/order was a misnomer; the court treated it as nonfatal variance where applicable.
A group of five men assaulted the victims at a mobile home park; two assailants were armed, wore ski masks, and demanded money with multiple victims struck.
Three co-defendants testified that a group of five, including Stills, planned and carried out the robbery; one co-defendant testified Stills wore a black ski mask.
Police found a black ski mask and a small-caliber handgun holster at Stills’s residence, and other ski masks and a handgun were found at co-defendant residences.

Issue	Plaintiff's Argument	Defendant's Argument	Held
Variance between indictment and proof	Stills argues misnamed victim creates fatal variance.	Stills contends variance invalidates related convictions.	Not fatal; names referred to same person; variance harmless
Sufficiency with accomplice testimony	Uncorroborated accomplice testimony alone insufficient.	Slight corroboration suffices and multiple accomplices may corroborate each other.	Evidence sufficient; co-defendants and physical evidence corroborate
