Furlow v. State
Furlow v. State
Opinion of the Court
John Wesley Furlow appeals from his conviction of rape contending that the evidence failed to support the verdict against him. Held:
The victim testified that after the defendant assisted her in obtaining emergency gas for her automobile from the police by having her pretend to be ill, he requested that she give him a ride home. As she was going in his direction she agreed and apparently he drove the car. She claims that during the ride, he attempted to choke
The evidence was sufficient for a rational trier of fact to find that the defendant was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979); Driggers v. State, 244 Ga. 160 (259 SE2d 133) (1979). The credibility of the witnesses is for determination by the jury. Redd v. State, 154 Ga. App. 373 (268 SE2d 423) (1980).
Judgment affirmed. Banke and Carley, JJ, concur.
