(Court opinion corrected 11/21/13.) Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of aggravated discharge of a firearm. Evidence was sufficient for a finding of guilty of aggravated discharge of a firearm. One witness testified that he actually observed Defendant firing the handgun somewhere between the second and third gunshots, and another witness testified that she observed Defendant aiming handgun at their vehicle and heard four gunshots. As court found witnesses credible and their testimony sufficient to convict, State was not required to present additional physical evidence linking Defendant to shooting.(PALMER and TAYLOR, concurring.)
