A jury found Gregory Hall guilty of armed robbery, aggravated assault with intent to rob, and possessing a firearm during the commission of a felony.1 On appeal, Hall challenges the sufficiency of the evidence. He also contends that the trial court erred in admitting “an impermissible and overly suggestive photo lineup.” Finding no such error and the evidence sufficient, we affirm. 1. On appeal from a criminal conviction, Hall no longer enjoys a presumption of innocence.2 Rather, we view the evidence in a light most favorable to the jury’s verdict.3 “We do not weigh the evidence or resolve issues of witness credibility, but merely determine whether the evidence was sufficient to find Hall guilty of the crimes charged beyond a reasonable doubt.”4

Viewed in this manner, the evidence shows that at around 1:00 p.m. on February 4, 2003, Robin Howell drove her white Yukon SUV to the parking garage next to the Galyan’s store in Buckhead. Howell exited the truck, walked to the back, and opened the trunk. A man then walked toward her, pulled out a gun, and said, “give me the keys to that car.” Howell dropped the keys, and the man picked them up and drove away in her car.
