Heading: sufficient evidence to support verdict

Text: Soukharith asserts that the evidence was insufficient to support the jury's verdict. Although he acknowledges our decision in State v. Pierce, 248 Neb. 536, 537 N.W.2d 323 (1995), Soukharith asserts that because the evidence in this case was entirely circumstantial, inferences from the evidence should be viewed in the light most favorable to the accused, citing, inter alia, State v. Skalberg, 247 Neb. 150, 526 N.W.2d 67 (1995). We decline to revisit Skalberg and review this case according to the standard set forth in Pierce. In reviewing a criminal conviction, an appellate court does not resolve conflicts in the evidence, pass on the credibility of witnesses, or reweigh the evidence. Such matters are for the finder of fact, and a conviction will be affirmed, in the absence of prejudicial error, if the properly admitted evidence, viewed and construed most favorably to the State, is sufficient to support the conviction. State v. Pierce, 248 Neb. at 548, 537 N.W.2d at 330-31.
