Shawn Brown and a co-defendant, Venice Lipsey, were convicted by a Fulton County jury of two counts of armed robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, kidnapping, and false imprisonment. Brown’s amended motion for new trial was denied, and he appeals. Finding no error, we affirm.

1. Brown raises the general grounds. He does not argue the sufficiency of the evidence, however, conceding in his brief that “the evidence may have been sufficient to establish his guilt.” Instead, he argues only that the trial court’s answer to a question posed by the jury during deliberations rendered the verdict “contrary to the principles of justice and equity.” In a related enumeration of error, Brown contends that the trial court erred in its answer to the jury.
