392 S.E.2d 530
S90A0820.Supreme Court of Georgia.
DECIDED JUNE 21, 1990.
WELTNER, Justice.
Louis Torres killed Judi Drummond by strangling her and striking her on the head. He was convicted of malice murder and sentenced to life imprisonment.[1]
The evidence showed that Torres, a cocaine dealer, became angry when Drummond discussed buying drugs from a rival dealer. A witness testified that Torres told her that he was going to kill Drummond. Thereafter, the witness heard sounds of a struggle in a trailer occupied by Torres and Drummond, and saw Torres standing over Drummond’s body.
Torres’ sole contention on appeal relates to the sufficiency of the evidence. The evidence is sufficient to permit a rational trier of fact to find Torres guilty of malice 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.
