Stanley H. Nylen, Atlanta, for appellant.
Lewis R. Slaton, Dist. Atty., Joseph J. Drolet, R. David Petersen, Asst. Dist. Attys., for appellee.
Defendant was tried by a jury, convicted of involuntary manslaughter, and sentenced to serve five years in a state penitentiary. He brings this appeal from the denial of his amended motion for a new trial.
1. As the jury is the sole judge of the credibility of witnesses, this enumeration is without merit. Stewart v. State, 128 Ga.App. 11, 195 S.E.2d 251 (1973).
2. Proof of venue, though slight, is sufficient where there is no conflicting evidence. Casey v. State, 133 Ga.App. 161, 210 S.E.2d 375 (1974). The evidence was sufficient to establish venue in Fulton County.
Judgment affirmed.
SHULMAN, J., not participating.
