A Gwinnett County jury convicted James Lee Young of armed robbery, OCGA § 16-8-41. Following the denial of his motion for new trial, Young appeals, challenging the trial court’s charge to the jury and response to a jury question.

Viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict, the evidence showed that on November 17, 1996, Young was driving his car while Theon Finney, Desmond Washington and Rodney Smith were passengers. Young knew Finney had a stun gun, and they intended to use it to rob people that night. After driving around for a while looking for victims, they drove into an apartment complex. Finney pointed at a woman getting out of a car in front of an apartment and told Young to pull over. Young pulled into a parking space and watched and listened as Finney approached the victim, demanded her money, threatened her with the stun gun, took her briefcase, returned to the car and told Young to drive away. Finney gave the briefcase to Washington who searched it for money. Washington passed the victim’s credit cards to Young. Young still had the credit cards when he was arrested later that day.
