1. a Viewed in the light most favorable to the verdicts, the evidence at trial showed the following. On the night of October 14, 2009, Thomas Raines was visiting the Walkers, drinking moonshine with Michael in the shed behind their trailer home on Highway 80 in Upson County. Raines saw Appellant and Octavious Hart, who both appeared to be high on drugs, enter the shed without knocking. Appellant discussed something with Michael. After about 20 minutes, Appellant and Hart left, and Michael expressed unspecified concerns about them to Raines. Around 1:00 a.m., a neighbor heard a series of gunshots from the Walker residence. Around 4:00 a.m., Appellant called his girlfriend, Katrina Corbin, asking her to pick him up on Highway 341 about 15 miles from the Walkers’ home.

Appellant explained to Corbin that he and Hart had an altercation with someone off of Highway 80, that they shot at each other, and that he and Hart set fire to a house.2
