Heading: Sufficiency of the identification evidence against McCray

Text: 30 McCray argues that the evidence was insufficient to support his conviction for robbing the Subway because his conviction rested on the testimony of a single eyewitness, Mitchell. McCray notes that Mitchell misidentified McCray's relative height, weight, and skin tone, as compared to the other Subway robber, Chopane. Mitchell, however, got a good look at McCray's face during the robbery, and he confidently identified McCray at a photo lineup and at trial. Although Mitchell's identification of McCray was certainly subject to attack, the jury was the ultimate arbiter of Mitchell's credibility and chose to credit his identification. Because Mitchell's identification was not incredible as a matter of law, we will not upset the jury's verdict. See United States v. Freeman, 77 F.3d 812, 816 (5th Cir.1996). 31
