Angela Tiffany Dillard appeals her convictions and sentences on five counts of armed robbery, two counts of financial transaction card theft, two counts of financial transaction card fraud, and five counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Construed in favor of the verdict the evidence shows that two masked bandits engaged in three separate incidents of armed robbery in four days in Athens-Clarke County. On February 6, 2001, they robbed a graduate student at gunpoint. On February 8, they robbed two students at gunpoint at an apartment complex. And shortly after midnight on the morning of February 9, they robbed two more students at gunpoint.

In the first incident, the robbers took the victim’s credit card and bank check card at approximately 10:30 p.m. The victim immediately cancelled both cards and called the police. Bank business records show that he cancelled his credit card at 10:54 p.m. From approximately 11:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. the same night, Dillard, by her own admission at trial, went to Wal-Mart and attempted to purchase several items with the victim’s credit card, although the purchase was denied because the credit card had been cancelled. Dillard and her accomplice Laurens Jackson were captured on Wal-Mart’s video surveillance system driving into the parking lot in Dillard’s car, walking through the parking lot, shopping, attempting to check out, and departing the parking lot. Dillard and Jackson then went to a convenience store about one mile away and attempted to use one of the cards there at 11:31 p.m. Again, they were photographed by store surveillance cameras.
