McClure v. State6/20/2005
ncy of the evidence to support a conviction. Thus, we construe the evidence in favor of the jury's verdict and determine whether a rational trier of fact could have found McClure guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the crimes for which he was convicted. "An appellate court does not weigh evidence or determine witness credibility, but determines only if the evidence is sufficient under the standard of Jackson v. Virginia to support a finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt." Conflicts in testimony and questions about witness credibility are matters for the jury to resolve. As long as there is some competent evidence, even though contradicted, to support each fact necessary for the state's case, the jury's verdict will be upheld.
The jury's verdict clearly shows that it chose to believe that McClure was impaired at the time of the collision. The weight to be given to the evidence, including the expert testimony, was for the jury to decide. We find the evidence was sufficient under the standard of Jackson v. Virginia to support a finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
Judgment affirmed. Andrews, P. J., and Mikell, J., concur.
