1. [Appellant] contends that the trial court erred in admitting in[to] evidence [her] two in-custody statements. The transcript being silent as to any objection to admissibility at the trial, a complaint of admissibility will not be heard for the first time in this Court. [Cit.]
Thompson v. State, 258 Ga. 816, 817 (2) (375 S.E.2d 219) (1989). Indeed, the record shows that appellant stipulated the admissibility of the second statement. Moreover, the transcript shows that appellant was given Miranda warnings before each statement and that the first statement “was spontaneous and not in response to any interrogation or prodding by [any law enforcement officer].” Eady v. State, 182 Ga. App. 293, 299 (8) (355 S.E.2d 778) (1987). See also Stevens v. State, 247 Ga. 698, 703 (7) (278 S.E.2d 398) (1981).
2. Appellant also enumerates the general grounds. Considering the evidence, including appellant’s statements, in a light most favorable to the verdict, we conclude that a rational trier of fact could have found appellant guilty of murder beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307
(99 S.C. 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560) (1979).
Judgment affirmed. All the Justices concur.
