Opinion

Weltner, Presiding Justice.

Martin Lee Jenkins killed Cynthia Johnson by stabbing her with a screwdriver and bludgeoning her with a metal object. He was convicted by a jury of felony murder, and was sentenced to life imprisonment.¹

We have reviewed Jenkins’ claims of error. We hold that the evidence is sufficient under Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979); and that there was no error in the trial of the case that warrants a new trial, or other substantial relief.

Judgment affirmed.

Clarke, C. J., Bell, Hunt, Benham and Fletcher, JJ., concur.
