Sanchez Lorenzo Flint Case No. A10A1884 and Terrail Devon Flint Case No. A10A1885, who are cousins, appeal from the denial of their motions for new trial following their convictions by a jury of armed robbery, OCGA § 18-8-41. Their appeals have been consolidated. Finding no reversible error, we affirm. 1. Both appellants argue that their motions for new trial were improperly denied because the evidence was insufficient to find them guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.1 On appeal from a criminal conviction, we view the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict, and an appellant no longer enjoys the presumption of innocence. This court determines whether the evidence is sufficient under the standard of Jackson v. Virginia and does not weigh the evidence or determine witness credibility.2 So viewed, the evidence shows that the robbery occurred on the evening of December 16, 2006. Ramon Perez and Brian Allen were assistant managers of a shoe store, Shoe Department, located on Mall Boulevard in Gwinnett County. Perez and Allen were required to close the store at 9:00 p.m., then clean up, count the proceeds, and prepare bank deposits. Because the store had been robbed before, the bank deposit was split, with Perez and Allen each having a bank bag. Perez’s deposit was composed of twenty-one one hundred dollar bills, fifty twenty dollar bills, and two fifty dollar bills, totaling $3,200. As Perez was leaving the store around 10:15 p.m., he saw a man who appeared to be getting ready to cross Mall Boulevard standing near a tree and a streetlight. Perez could see that the man was African-American and that he had twists in his hair.
Nelldra Allen “Nelldra”, Allen’s wife, had arrived at the store around 10:00 p.m. to pick him up. She had backed her car into a handicapped space near the front door, where she waited around 20 minutes for Allen and Perez to come out of the store. Nelldra also noticed the man standing near a tree and street light close to the street. He had not been there when she pulled in and she continued to watch him because she knew the store had been robbed before. Nelldra saw the man run toward Allen and Perez as they came out of the store. He put on a ski mask and pulled out a silver gun. Allen had gotten into the car with Nelldra and she sped around the parking lot blowing her horn. She almost hit the man with the gun.
