425 S.E.2d 879 | Ga. | 1993
Alkareem Abdul Jabar Smith was convicted of the felony murder of Archie Dean Wilson, Jr. and was sentenced to life imprisonment.
1. Considering the evidence in a light most favorable to the verdict, we conclude that a rational trier of fact could have found Smith guilty of the crime charged beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979).
2. All of Smith’s enumerations of error concern the trial court’s charge to the jury. We have thoroughly reviewed the entire charge that was given and, while there were problems with isolated portions of the court’s charge, when read and considered as a whole, the charge does not contain any error requiring reversal of Smith’s conviction. Hambrick v. State, 256 Ga. 688, 690 (353 SE2d 177) (1987).
