Marilyn Heath a/k/a Marilyn Council appeals from the judgment of conviction entered on a jury verdict finding her guilty of robbery by use of force in violation of OCGA § 16-8-40 a 1. For the following reasons, we affirm. 1. The evidence was sufficient to support the guilty verdict. The victim testified that Heath came to the door of her house and rang the doorbell. When the victim opened the door, Heath told the victim that she was selling a coat and some CDs, but the victim told Heath she was not interested in buying any of the items. The victim did not invite Heath into her house, but Heath nevertheless came into the house saying that her heart was racing and she had to sit down. As Heath came inside the house, she knocked the victim down across a couch and onto the floor. The victim testified that, because of her weakened physical condition, she struggled to get up from the floor. According to the victim, after she struggled for a couple of minutes to get up from the floor, Heath reached into the victim’s purse, which was on the couch, took $500 in cash and some credit cards out of the purse, and left the house. When the victim was finally able to get up, she called 911 and reported the theft. The victim later identified Heath from a photo lineup arranged by police. Heath testified, admitted that she went to the victim’s house to sell some items, but denied that she knocked the victim down or took anything from the victim.
On appeal from a criminal conviction, the defendant no longer enjoys the presumption of innocence, and the evidence is viewed in the light most favorable to the guilty verdict. Parker v. State , 220 Ga. App. 303 469 SE2d 410 1996. Viewed in this light, the evidence was sufficient for a rational trier of fact to find beyond a reasonable doubt that Heath was guilty of the offense of robbery by force in violation of OCGA § 16-8-40 a 1; Dutton v. State , 199 Ga. App. 750 406 SE2d 85 1991; Jackson v. Virginia , 443 U. S. 307 99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560 1979.
