Darrell Rodencal was convicted of the felony murder and robbery of Troy Lawson, and the theft by taking of his truck, and sentenced to life imprisonment, plus two consecutive twenty-year terms. 1 We affirm but set aside the armed robbery conviction and sentence. 1. Having reviewed the evidence in the light most favorable to the jury's determination, we conclude that a rational trier of fact could have found the defendant guilty of the crimes for which he was convicted beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979). 2. The record supports the trial court's conclusion that trial counsel was not ineffective under the standard of Strickland v. Washington, 466 U. S. 668, 687 (104 SC 2052, 80 LE2d 674) (1984). 3. We find no merit to defendant's remaining enumerations of error. 4. Defendant was convicted and sentenced for felony murder, armed robbery and theft by taking. The record reflects the armed robbery conviction was the underlying felony for defendant's conviction of felony murder, and, therefore, that felony merged into the felony murder conviction. Accordingly, we vacate the conviction and sentence for armed robbery. Johnson v. State, 254 Ga. 591, 596 (4) ( 331 SE2d 578) (1985). Avrett & Withrock, R. Mike Withrock, for appellant. |
