Appellant Kentez L. Glass and his co-defendant Christopher K. Anderson were separately indicted, but later tried jointly before a jury on a new indictment. Glass was found guilty of the felony murder of Jenterra Bennett, the underlying felony of aggravated assault against Anderson, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. The trial court entered judgments of conviction and sentenced Glass to life imprisonment for murder, a concurrent 20-year term for aggravated assault, and a consecutive five-year term for the weapons charge. Anderson was convicted of aggravated assault against Glass and certain firearms offenses, and those convictions were affirmed on appeal. Anderson v. State , 306 Ga. App. 423 702 SE2d 458 2010. After a motion for new trial was filed by Glass and denied by the trial court, he appealed to the Court of Appeals, which transferred the case to this Court.1 1. Construed most strongly in support of the verdicts, the evidence, as summarized by the Court of Appeals, shows the following: In the late evening of August 16, 2007, Anderson exchanged words with . . . Glass and others as he departed a Coweta County pool room, returning shortly thereafter with a gun which he fired at Glass but missed as he ran. Glass, in turn, returned to the tavern early the next morning and fired into a crowd intending to hit Anderson. Instead he killed Ms. Bennett, who was an innocent bystander. Anderson v. State , supra. Glass cursorily argues several matters, such as the criminal record of several witnesses and the placement of his picture around the community with an alert to be on the lookout, that only affect “the credibility of the witnesses and the weight to be given to their testimony, which are matters for the jury.” Cox v. State , 279 Ga. 223, 224 2 610 SE2d 521 2005.

As part of his challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence, Glass complains that the photographic lineup used to identify him was impermissibly suggestive. However, he fails to point out where he raised this alleged error below. See Newton v. State , 280 Ga. App. 709, 711-712 634 SE2d 839 2006. Moreover, in his only specific complaint about the lineup, Glass mentions the position of his photograph in relation to the others, but he fails to show how his photograph stood out from the others in any arbitrary or apparent way. See Hodnett v. State , 269 Ga. 115, 118 4 498 SE2d 737 1998.
