Heading: the lower court erred in failing to grant a new trial since the verdict was against the overwhelming weight of the evidence.

Text: The appellant contends under assigned Error III that the verdict was against the overwhelming weight of the evidence and that the lower court erred in refusing to grant a new trial on that ground. The answer to this argument is that the evidence is overwhelmingly against the appellant, reflecting that he was an active participant in the robbery; that he was positively identified as being one of the robbers; that the stolen items, or many of them, were recovered; and that the guilt issue was fairly resolved against him by the jury. Assigned Error III is rejected. The judgment of the lower court is affirmed. AFFIRMED. HAWKINS and DAN M. LEE, P.JJ., and PRATHER, ROBERTSON, SULLIVAN, ANDERSON, GRIFFIN and ZUCCARO, JJ., concur.
