DIXON v. STATE

Court of Appeals of Georgia.
Jun 13, 1979

DEEN, Chief Judge.

Defendant was tried by a jury, convicted of involuntary manslaughter, and sentenced to serve five years in a state penitentiary. He brings this appeal from the denial of his amended motion for a new trial.

1. As the jury is the sole judge of the credibility of witnesses, this enumeration is without merit. Stewart v. State, 128 Ga. App. 11 ( 195 S.E.2d 251) (1973).

2. Proof of venue, though slight, is sufficient where there is no conflicting evidence. Casey v. State, 133 Ga. App. 161 ( 210 S.E.2d 375) (1974). The evidence was sufficient to establish venue in Fulton County.

Judgment affirmed. Birdsong and Carley, JJ., concur. Shulman, J., not participating.

SUBMITTED MAY 7, 1979 — DECIDED JUNE 13, 1979.
