Supreme Court of Georgia.

Decided April 9, 1987.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

H. Haywood Turner III, for appellant.

William J. Smith, District Attorney, Michael J. Bowers, Attorney General, J. Michael Davis, Assistant Attorney General, for appellee.

WELTNER, Justice.

Joe Dixon stabbed his former female companion. She died of multiple stab wounds, and he was convicted of murder.1

The single enumeration of error is that the verdict is against the weight of evidence. The evidence in this case is sufficient under the standard of Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307 (99 S.C. 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979).
