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.
