A jury found Aiysha Carswell-Danso guilty on one count each of kidnapping, armed robbery, robbery, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime. Raising several enumerations of error, Carswell-Danso appeals. We find no error and affirm. The evidence reveals that Carswell-Danso and Eriette Roach approached the victim in the parking lot of a restaurant. Carswell-Danso pointed a gun at the victim, told him that they wanted money, and ordered him back into his car. The two women forced the victim to drive to a motel next to the restaurant where the three entered a motel room. Carswell-Danso removed the victim’s shirt and ordered him to remove his pants. After removing a credit card and ATM card from his wallet, the women asked the victim for the personal identification numbers for the respective cards. When the victim told them he did not know those numbers, Roach hit him in the face, and stabbed him in the neck with a knife. The victim then gave the women the PIN for the ATM card, and Carswell-Danso left and returned 15 minutes later with $100. When the victim told the women he did not know the PIN for the credit card, they ordered him to put on his clothes. They then returned to the victim’s car where Roach ordered the victim into the trunk.

The two women drove around with the victim in the trunk for several hours. When the vehicle stopped, the victim escaped from the trunk and attempted to run. Roach caught him and told him to walk around to the back of a house. As the victim walked, Roach hit him on the head with a brick and demanded the PIN for the credit card. When he again told her he didn’t know the PIN, Roach hit him twice more on the head with the brick before leaving the scene.
