Heading: whether the trial court erred in refusing to grant a directed verdict.

Text: ¶ 14. Davis argues the State never proved he was involved in the murder of Arnold. He further argues that there was no physical evidence placing him at the crime scene. ¶ 15. Motions for directed verdict challenge the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the verdict. Bridges v. State, 807 So.2d 1228, 1231 (Miss.2002); Smith v. State, 802 So.2d 82, 86 (Miss. 2001); Holmes v. State, 798 So.2d 533, 537 (Miss.2001); Mallard v. State, 798 So.2d 539, 542 (Miss.2001). When passing upon such a motion, all of the State's evidence is accepted as true with inferences that can be drawn therefrom, and if the evidence is sufficient to support the verdict of guilty, the motion for directed verdict must be denied. Hill v. State, 774 So.2d 441, 447 (Miss.2000); Fleming v. State, 732 So.2d 172, 182 (Miss.1999); Stevenson v. State, 733 So.2d 177, 183 (Miss.1998); Mamon v. State, 724 So.2d 878, 881 (Miss.1998); Wall v. State, 718 So.2d 1107, 1111 (Miss.1998). ¶ 16. Here, there was sufficient evidence to support the verdict. Davis admitted to law enforcement in his third statement on August 1, 2000, that he fired three shots into the camp cabin where Arnold was sleeping while Clifton held the blinds aside. [1] Both Megan Smith and Michelle Campbell saw Davis running from the camp with Clifton, and both testified he told them he fired the three shots. Michelle also testified that Josh stated, I shot him. I shot the mother f ker three God damn times. This assignment of error is without merit.
