Donald Junior Tucker was convicted of felony murder, cruelty to children, and giving a false report of a crime, all in connection with the murder of his two-month-old daughter, Amy Lee Tucker. 1 He was sentenced to life imprisonment for felony murder, 20 years imprisonment for cruelty to children, and 12 months for the false reporting charge. We affirm, but set aside the conviction and sentence for cruelty to children. 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. We find no merit to the defendant's remaining enumerations of error. 3. The defendant was convicted and sentenced for felony murder, cruelty to children, and giving a false report of a crime. The record reflects the cruelty to children conviction was the underlying felony for the defendant's conviction of felony murder, and, therefore, that felony merged into the felony murder conviction. Accordingly, we vacate the conviction and sentence for cruelty to children. Rodencal v. State, 262 Ga. 686 (424 SE2d 787) (1993). H. Lamar Cole, District Attorney, Charles M. Stines, Assistant District Attorney, Michael J. Bowers, Attorney General, Rachelle L. Strausner, Staff Attorney, for appellee. |
