Stewart Pullin appeals from the denial of his motion for new trial following his conviction by a jury of malice murder, felony murder, voluntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, and burglary. Because the jury convicted him of every crime on the verdict form, including voluntary manslaughter, the lesser included crime of the two murder counts, Pullin was sentenced for voluntary manslaughter, aggravated assault, and burglary.1

1. Viewed with all inferences in favor of the verdict, the evidence was that Patricia Williams, former wife of Pullin and mother of his son Rejamel, waked her husband Charles Williams at their home in Lithonia around 6:25 a.m. on December 4, 1998 as she was leaving for work. She also told her 11-year-old daughter, Ruthia, goodbye, went into the garage, opened the garage door, and got in her van. Ruthia then heard a scream and shots.
