Heading: Sufficiency of the Evidence: Identification of the Defendants

Text: 17 Because admission of the identification evidence was not erroneous, we consider this testimony along with the videotape, admissions, and the other evidence to gauge the sufficiency of the evidence to support the convictions. Although the tape was not outstanding in quality, we believe that the tape was of sufficient quality to substantially aid the jury in the identification of the defendants, both of whom were present in the courtroom during the trial. Buttressed with the testimony of the identification witnesses and with Dobbs's admission, the evidence clearly is sufficient. We note in particular that Dobbs's claim that he was an innocent bystander is almost nonsensical. The jury would have had to ignore his clear gestures towards his half-brother during the robbery as shown on the tape to accept his argument. 18
