Cotton v. State

Court of Appeals of Georgia

289 S.E.2d 547 (Ga. Ct. App. 1982)

Opinion

63435.

DECIDED MARCH 18, 1982.

Shoplifting. Fulton State Court. Before Judge Moran.

Morris Richman, for appellant.

Hinson McAuliffe, Solicitor, James Webb, Paul C. McCommon III, Assistant Solicitors, for appellee.


Stanley Cotton appeals from his conviction for shoplifting. Held:

The evidence in this case is such that a reasonable trier of fact could rationally have found proof of appellant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Turner v. State, 151 Ga. App. 169, 170 ( 259 S.E.2d 171). The evidence against appellant was not wholly circumstantial, but included direct evidence of appellant's guilt by his own admission of the offense and a witness who saw appellant remove the goods from the store shelf. Appellant's remaining enumerations of error are unsupported by argument and citation of authority and are deemed abandoned (Court of Appeals Rule 15 (c) (2)) and, we add, are without merit on their face.

Judgment affirmed. McMurray, P. J., and Banke, J., concur.

DECIDED MARCH 18, 1982.
