Sam Crouch appeals his conviction for the felony murder of Annie Mae Dixon. For the reasons that follow, we affirm.1 Construed to support the verdicts, the evidence showed that Dixon sold drinks of liquor and beer from her home. At 9:00 p.m. on July 11, 2000, Sam Crouch arrived and received a drink of liquor, which cost $1.50. He paid Dixon $1.00, told her he would owe fifty cents, and left. Crouch returned early in the morning on July 12, 2000, and asked for four quart-sized beers. Dixon refused to extend Crouch any more credit, and he attacked her as she sat in a recliner, hitting her multiple times in the head with an unknown blunt object. On August 15, 2000, she died as a result of the injuries.

At approximately 6:30 a.m. on July 12, 2000, Dixon’s neighbor, Carroker, went to Dixon’s house and noted that her back door was open; Dixon did not respond to his knocks. Carroker walked to the home of Dixon’s uncle and the men returned to Dixon’s home; she did not respond to them, and the men notified the sheriff’s office of the situation. During this time frame, Carroker saw Crouch near Dixon’s house carrying a quart bottle of beer; another witness also saw Crouch with such a bottle.
