289 S.E.2d 29
63526.Court of Appeals of Georgia.
DECIDED MARCH 11, 1982.
McMURRAY, Presiding Judge.
Defendant was indicted in two separate indictments, tried and convicted of the offenses of burglary. He appeals as to the sufficiency of the evidence to convict which is based on recent, unexplained possession of stolen property. Held:
The case sub judice is controlled adversely to the defendant by Williamson v. State, 248 Ga. 47, 48-58 (281 S.E.2d 512), affd. s.c., 156 Ga. App. 615 (1) (275 S.E.2d 699), both cases citin Humes v. State,
Page 602
143 Ga. App. 229, 230 (237 S.E.2d 704). But the circumstances and direct evidence connecting the defendant to two separate burglaries committed in the same manner and scheme here are even stronger than the above cases and amply sufficient to convict. After a careful review of the entire record and transcript we find that a rational trier of fact could reasonably have found from the evidence adduced at trial proof of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt of each of the offenses of burglary.
Judgment affirmed. Banke and Birdsong, JJ., concur.
