Heading: sufficiency of the evidence

Text: Appellant contends that there is not sufficient evidence to support the verdict. In reviewing a sufficiency of the evidence claim, we affirm the conviction if, considering only the probative evidence and reasonable inferences supporting the verdict, without weighing evidence or assessing witness credibility, we find that a reasonable trier of fact could conclude that the defendant was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Rohm v. State (1990), Ind., 558 N.E.2d 1100, 1103 (citations omitted). Furthermore, a rape conviction may rest solely on the uncorroborated testimony of the victim... . Id. Essentially, Wooden is asking us to assess the credibility of the witnesses. Wooden argues that because Rodney Quick testified that he, Blean, and D.K. discussed sex while attending the party in Fishers, we should infer that D.K. actually consented to having sex with Wooden. It was the jury's task to assess the victim's version of the events along with the rest of the testimony. The evidence was sufficient for the jury to find Wooden guilty of rape.
