Following a jury trial, Therron Sapp appeals his convictions for aggravated assault and for possession of a firearm during the commission of the aggravated assault. His sole enumeration of error challenges the sufficiency of the evidence. We hold that the evidence amply supported a finding that he was a party if not a conspirator to these crimes, and we therefore affirm. When reviewing a defendant’s challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence, we view the evidence in the light most favorable to the jury’s verdict, and the defendant no longer enjoys the presumption of innocence. Short v. State .1 We do not weigh the evidence or determine witness credibility, but only determine if the evidence was sufficient for a rational trier of fact to find the defendant guilty of the charged offense beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia .2
So viewed, the evidence shows that Sapp was riding as a passenger in his friend’s car when his friend pulled the car in behind a woman’s car, blocking her car from leaving the parking lot of a restaurant. The woman was a former girlfriend of Sapp’s friend. Sapp exited the friend’s car and stepped into the front passenger seat of the woman’s car, holding a gun in his lap and instructing her to drive her car to the friend’s residence. She followed the friend’s car to the residence, which was located in Fulton County. At the residence, Sapp went into the living room and the friend escorted the woman to his bedroom, where he yelled at her for discontinuing their relationship and drew a gun, firing it twice into the ceiling. After the gunshots were fired, Sapp came into the bedroom, looked around, and then closed the door. The friend pointed the gun at the woman and threatened to kill her unless she told him where her current boyfriend lived. She agreed to do so, whereupon the friend forced her at gunpoint to put on handcuffs. Sapp accompanied the pair to the friend’s car and sat in the back seat, with the woman in the front passenger seat and the friend in the driver’s seat.
