A Muscogee County jury convicted Xavier Womack of armed robbery, OCGA § 16-8-41, based upon his participation in the robbery of a Brinks armored truck during which Womack’s accomplice shot and killed a Brinks guard.1 Womack appeals from the denial of his motion for new trial. Finding no error, we affirm. 1. Womack contends the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction for armed robbery. On appeal, this Court views the evidence in the light most favorable to the State, and the defendant no longer enjoys the presumption of innocence. Jackson v. Virginia , 443 U. S. 307, 319 III B 99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560 1979. This Court does not weigh the evidence or judge the credibility of witnesses, but determines only if the evidence is sufficient for any rational trier of fact to find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the crime for which he was charged. Id.
So viewed, the record shows the following evidence. On December 20, 1995, Womack, his cousin, Jakeith Robinson, and a friend, Leon Tollette, were seen together in the lobby of a Barnett Bank in Columbus, Georgia, as the bank was closing for the day. The next morning, Robinson’s blue Mustang was parked near a Brinks parking lot in Columbus; there were three men inside the Mustang. A Brinks armored truck was parked in the Brinks parking lot, warming up its engine. At approximately 9 a.m., both the Brinks truck and the Mustang left the area. Shortly thereafter, the Brinks guard driving the truck parked near Barnett Bank, where Womack and the other two men had been the night before. A Brinks guard walked across the street to SunTrust Bank, while the another guard stayed inside the truck. Tollette was standing in front of Barnett Bank, holding a newspaper, and Womack watched the Brinks truck from across the street. The Brinks guard came out of SunTrust Bank, walked back to the truck, and opened the truck’s door. Tollette suddenly ran up to the truck and shot the guard four times in the head at close range with a .357 revolver, killing him. A Wells Fargo guard who was parked nearby saw Tollette murder the guard.
