Supreme Court of Georgia
Rivera v. the State.
October 22, 2018820 S.E.2d 726
Summary
The court affirmed Rivera's convictions because the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict, was sufficient for a rational jury to find her guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The medical evidence showed that the child died from repeated blunt-force injuries inflicted over time, and the children's statements described Rivera's ongoing abuse and conduct on the night of the death. The court declined to reweigh the evidence or reassess witness credibility, concluding those matters were for the jury.
