A jury found Isaac Brown guilty of robbery. Following the denial of his motion for new trial, he appeals, challenging the sufficiency of the evidence. Finding the evidence sufficient to support the verdict, we affirm. When reviewing a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence in a criminal matter, we consider the evidence in a light favorable to the jury’s verdict and neither weigh the evidence nor evaluate witness credibility.1 We only “assess whether the evidence was sufficient to find Brown guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.”2

Viewed in this light, the evidence shows that on the night of May 13, 2003, Delores Springer and her husband checked into a hotel in Richmond Hill, Georgia. As they were removing their belongings from their vehicle in the hotel parking lot, two men approached them, and one of the men grabbed Mrs. Springer’s arm and took her purse. Mr. Springer chased the man who took the purse, who he described as wearing a dark shirt with tan stripes. Mrs. Springer testified that the man who took her purse wore “a dark shirt . . . it wasn’t a solid. It was either like a stripe or plaid or something.”
