Syllabus

The appellant's convictions on two counts of felonious assault are supported by legally sufficient evidence and are not against the weight of the evidence. Although the number of shell casings recovered at the crime scene did not match the number of shots allegedly fired by the appellant, the jury reasonably could have concluded that not all of the casings were recovered in the dark and that enough shots were fired for the appellant to have fired at three people. The trial court did not err in overruling the appellant's motion to suppress a pretrial photo identification where the photospread was not unduly suggestive. Any question about whether an eyewitness identified Jones as the shooter or merely as someone he had seen in the neighborhood went to the weight and significance of the identification rather than its admissibility. Judgment affirmed.
