A grand jury indicted Olatunde Skaggs-Ferrell for the aggravated assault of Nathan Grier, the kidnapping of Nathan Grier, the burglary of Grier’s home, the aggravated assault of Abby Livingston, and attempt to commit armed robbery. A jury found Skaggs-Ferrell guilty of the aggravated assault of Grier, burglary, and attempted armed robbery. Skaggs-Ferrell appeals, alleging 1 the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions, 2 he was convicted based on the uncorroborated testimony of his co-defendant, 3 the trial court erred in its charge to the jury, 4 he received ineffective assistance of trial counsel, 5 the state improperly kept one of its witnesses in the courtroom in violation of the rule of sequestration, and 6 the trial court erroneously refused to allow him to impeach the state’s witness. We affirm in part and remand in part. 1. On appeal from a criminal conviction, we view the evidence in the light most favorable to support the jury’s verdict, and the defendant no longer enjoys a presumption of innocence; moreover, this Court determines evidence sufficiency and does not weigh the evidence or determine witness credibility.1 “Resolving evidentiary conflicts and inconsistencies, and assessing witness credibility, are the province of the factfinder, not this Court.”2 As long as there is some evidence, even though contradicted, to support each necessary element of the state’s case, this Court will uphold the jury’s verdict.3
Viewed in this light, the evidence shows that on February 17, 1999, a home invasion took place in Douglasville at the home of Abby Livingston and her husband, Nathan Grier. Four armed men entered the bedroom, grabbed Grier from the bed, hit him in the head with a gun, and threw him to the ground. The men threatened to kill Grier and Livingston unless they were given money. When the house alarm began to sound, two of the men ran from the bedroom, followed shortly by the third. As the last invader turned to retreat, he continuously fired his weapon as he left. Grier called police and gave them a description of the dark-colored car.
