Robert S. Lanier, Jr., for appellant.
On November 9, 1981 appellant was tried before a jury and convicted of two counts of armed robbery and two counts of aggravated assault. His motion for new trial was denied on October 1, 1982.
1. As his first enumeration of error, appellant raises the general grounds. After reviewing the evidence of record in the light most favorable to the jury's verdict, we conclude that any rational trier of fact could have found the appellant guilty of all counts of armed robbery and aggravated assault beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979); see Watkins v. State,
2. Appellant next contends that the trial court erred "to the substantial prejudice of the appellant" in the charge to the jury. Argument presented on this point is vague and sketchy and comes perilously close to lacking specificity sufficient to be addressed by this court. See generally Pitts v. State,
The trial court further charged on voluntary intoxication and insanity, and such instructions were supported by the evidence of record. "A trial court's charge to the jury must be read as a whole in determining whether the charge contained error." Wood v. State,
3. For the foregoing reasons, the trial court's denial of appellant's motion for new trial was not error.
J. Lane Johnston, District Attorney, N. Jackson Cotney, Jr., Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.
