BROWN v. THE STATE.
A90A1518.
COOPER, Judge.
Aggravated assault. Chatham Superior Court. Before Judge Brannen.
Appellant, convicted by a jury of aggravated assault appeals from the denial of his motion for new trial.
Evidence adduced at trial showed that appellant went to the residence of his former girl friend at approximately 8:00 one morning. When no one answered appellant's knock at the door, he climbed along the side of the house, entered the house through an upstairs window, and found his former girl friend and the victim in the bedroom. Appellant began arguing with the victim and as the victim left the house, appellant and several of his friends chased the victim. When appellant subsequently caught up with the victim, appellant shot the victim three times in his right leg.
1. Appellant first contends that the verdict was contrary to the evidence. We find that the evidence was sufficient to authorize a rational trier of fact to find appellant guilty of aggravated assault beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979).
Riley v. State, 181 Ga. App. 667 (3) (353 SE2d 598) (1987). Accordingly, we find no error in the trial court's refusal to give appellant's requested charges.
For the foregoing reasons we conclude that the trial court did not err in denying appellant's motion for new trial.
Spencer Lawton, Jr., District Attorney, Lars T. Granade, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.
C. Jackson Burch, for appellant.
DECIDED OCTOBER 26, 1990.
