Lyndon B. Johnson, Jr. appeals his convictions for felony murder and other crimes in connection with the shooting death of Brandon Todd. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.1 1. The evidence at trial, viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict, showed the following. Johnson and Jimmy Teemer met the victim in the parking lot of a motel in Albany, Georgia. The victim revealed that he was traveling alone, and Johnson and Teemer decided to rob him. They went to a motel room occupied by co-defendant Patrick Jackson and his girlfriend, Shantoria Martin, and told them of the plan. Jackson gave Teemer a .22 caliber handgun and a black shirt that Teemer wore over his head during the robbery. Johnson changed clothes, leaving his brown jumpsuit in the room. Martin later testified against Johnson at trial.

Both Teemer and the victim were soon found dead from gunshots —the victim in his motel room, with a Glock pistol on the floor next to him, and Teemer in some bushes nearby, with a .22 pistol lying near him. Later that night, Johnson told a friend that he and Teemer were “fixing to go hit a lick” slang for armed robbery when their plan went awry and Teemer was killed. The friend relayed this information to the police and later testified against Johnson at trial.
