Heading: sufficiency of the evidence

Text: Appellant argues that the evidence is insufficient to sustain his convictions. When confronted with a challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence, this Court does not weigh the evidence or judge the credibility of the witnesses. Rather, we consider only that evidence most favorable to the State and all the reasonable inferences which can be drawn therefrom. If there is substantial evidence of probative value to support the conclusion of the trier of fact beyond a reasonable doubt, then the judgment must be affirmed. Gatewood v. State (1982), Ind., 430 N.E.2d 781. The last time Ms. Ingram was seen alive was when she left the massage parlor with Shelton and Catrabone. When the two men returned to the massage parlor a couple of hours later Shelton told three acquaintances that they took Ingram to a soybean field where he shot and killed her. Several months later he relayed this same story to a man with whom he was living. The evidence is clearly sufficient to sustain his convictions.
