Appellant Ernest Glass seeks reversal of his convictions for malice murder, three counts of aggravated assault, and four counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. He challenges the sufficiency of the evidence, contends the trial court erred when it denied his motion to sever his trial from that of his co-indictees and when it denied his motion for a continuance, and asserts that his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance of counsel when counsel failed to renew his motion to sever following the testimony of one of his co-defendants. After reviewing the record, we affirm the judgment of conviction.1 1. The State presented evidence that Lisa Odell Mosby was fatally shot as she stood on the front porch of a friend’s home. She was killed by a bullet that entered her left breast at the fifth rib, perforated her heart and, traveling in a downward direction, exited her back at the tenth rib. The three men with her when she was shot identified appellant as the man who fired 6-8 shots at them and Ms. Mosby from the front passenger seat of a gray Chevrolet Caprice owned by one of the co-defendants. Four 9-mm shell casings were found in the street in front of the house, and one of two bullet holes in an exterior wall of the house contained a 9-mm bullet. There was testimony that appellant was the current boyfriend of a woman who was the former girlfriend of one of the three men with the murder victim, and that appellant and the former boyfriend had exchanged heated words earlier the day the victim was killed as well as the afternoon of the day before the shooting.
Appellant contends the evidence was insufficient to authorize his conviction in light of testimony that one of the men at the house fired a gun at the car and evidence that the bullet passed through the victim’s body in a downward direction, which was at odds with testimony that the victim was standing on a porch above the level of the street when she was shot. “It is the role of the jury to resolve conflicts in the evidence and to determine the credibility of witnesses. Cit.. The resolution of such conflicts adversely to the defendant does not render the evidence insufficient. Cit..” Johnson v. State , 288 Ga. 771 1 707 SE2d 92 2011. Reviewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict, we conclude it was sufficient to authorize a rational trier of fact to find appellant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of malice murder, three counts of aggravated assault, and four counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. Jackson v. Virginia , 443 U.S. 307 99 CS 2781, 61 LE2d 560 1979.
