After a jury trial, Jovan D. Reeves was found guilty of the malice murder of James Cuthbert, aggravated assault against Byron Polite, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and two counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. The trial court entered judgments of conviction on those guilty verdicts and sentenced Reeves to life imprisonment for murder and to consecutive terms of twenty years for aggravated assault and five years for each weapons offense. A motion for new trial was denied, and Reeves appeals.1 1. Construed most strongly in support of the verdicts, the evidence shows that sometime after 6:30 p.m. on July 26, 2006, while Polite was meeting in a vehicle with Cuthbert for the purpose of purchasing marijuana from him, Reeves appeared and suddenly fired several shots into the vehicle, resulting in Cuthbert’s death and injuring Polite. During the shooting, Reeves was about four feet from the vehicle, was not wearing a mask, and looked directly at Polite, who recognized Reeves and knew him by the street name “Pig.” Polite fled in a different vehicle driven by Benjamin Adams, who testified that Polite stated that he knew who shot him. A forensics officer worked with Polite to produce a composite sketch, which was later matched to Reeves by a detective who encountered him as the victim in an unrelated crime. Polite was subsequently shown a photographic lineup, became very upset, started shaking, and identified Reeves as the perpetrator. It was determined that Reeves was known as “Pig” and had multiple prior felony convictions.
Reeves makes several attacks on Polite’s credibility and argues that his identification was the only evidence linking Reeves to the crimes. “We do not determine the credibility of eyewitness identification testimony. Rather ‘the determination of a witness’ credibility, including the accuracy of eyewitness identification, is within the exclusive province of the jury.’ ” Cit. OCGA § 24-4-8 provides that “ the testimony of a single witness is generally sufficient to establish a fact.” Frazier v. State , 305 Ga. App. 274, 275 1 699 SE2d 747 2010. The evidence was sufficient to authorize a rational trier of fact to find beyond a reasonable doubt that Reeves was guilty of the crimes for which he was convicted. Jackson v. Virginia , 443 U.307 99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560 1979; Wornum v. State , 285 Ga. 168, 169 1 674 SE2d 876 2009; Orr v. State , 281 Ga. 112 1 636 SE2d 505 2006.
