536 S.E.2d 565 (2000)

244 Ga. App. 697

GREEN v. The STATE.

Court of Appeals of Georgia.

June 29, 2000.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Ellis R. Garnett, Augusta, for appellant.

Daniel J. Craig, District Attorney, Charles R. Sheppard, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.


MILLER, Judge.

The two issues on appeal are (1) whether the testimony of three witnesses that the defendant did not act in self-defense in shooting the victim is sufficient evidence to convict on an aggravated assault charge, and (2) whether the prosecutor's closing argument that a "not guilty" verdict would send the wrong message to the community is permissible argument. We answer both questions in the affirmative and affirm.

Construed in favor of the verdict...
