    Facts of the case:

    At approximately 3 p.m. on December 12, 1976, 18-year-old Teresa Carol Allen arrived at her place of part-time employment, the Majik Market in Cochran, Georgia.

    Shortly before 7 p.m. the store was found to be empty. The cash register and the safe were open and empty and Miss Allen's automobile, a late model Pontiac Grand Prix, was missing. The Majik Market area supervisor determined that $466 was missing from the store.

    On December 14, 1976, Miss Allen's body was discovered lying in a wooded grassy area just off a dirt road near Highway 41 in Monroe County, Georgia. Footprints, two 30.06 cartridge hulls, a 30.06 metal jacket of a bullet, parts of Miss Allen's flesh, teeth and bone, tire tracks and a nylon stocking were found near the body.

    The cause of her death was determined to be loss of blood from bullet wounds. Examination of the body disclosed bruising on the inside of one thigh, a laceration of the vagina, and blood and mucous like matter in the vaginal canal.

    A pathologist testified that the wounds in the abdomen, arms and face were caused by a high-powered missile, and that the location and nature of the wounds were consistent with the theory that Miss Allen had her arms crossed across her stomach and was shot with a high-powered bullet which passed through both arms and the abdomen. Miss Allen was also shot by a high-powered bullet entering the left side of the neck, penetrating the lower face and exiting the right side of the head.

    In the early evening of the day of the robbery, Carzell Moore and Roosevelt Green were let off at Moore's house. Moore's house was four blocks from the location of the Majik Market. Green was wearing high-heeled shoes.

    In early January, 1977, Thomas Pasby accompanied Moore to check out an automobile that Moore intended to purchase. At that time, the Moore asked Pasby how Pasby felt about killing when Pasby was in Viet Nam.

    During their discussion, Moore told Pasby, "Well, I killed somebody, too," and then related the following: Moore said that he and Green went to the Majik Market in Cochran. Moore told Green to go in and take Miss Allen to the meat counter in order to attract her attention so that Moore could come in the front of the store with a rifle. This was done, and Green and Moore robbed the Majik Market. When they left the store, they took Miss Allen with them forcibly.

    They left in her car with Moore driving. Shortly after leaving the store Green turned to Miss Allen and said, "Bitch, take off your clothes." Miss Allen told Green that she was a virgin and pleaded with him not to rape her. Green raped her anyway. Green then changed places with Moore, and Green drove. Carzell Moore then raped Miss Allen.

    After driving further, Moore told Green to stop the car. Moore then told Miss Allen to get out. Miss Allen and Moore then got out of the car. Moore told Green to drive to a gas station to get gas for the car. After Green left, Miss Allen begged Moore not to kill her.

    Miss Allen crossed her arms over her stomach to protect herself. Moore shot her in the abdomen with the rifle. He then shot her in the face. Moore stated that he shot Miss Allen in the face in an attempt to disfigure her so as to make it difficult to identify her.

    When Green returned, the two of them picked up Miss Allen and threw her into the bushes. Moore told Pasby that one of her hands was so mangled by the rifle blast that he thought it was going to fall off. One of Miss Allen's hands was almost severed from her body.

    The attendant at a nearby gas station recalled selling gas for an automobile like that of the victim with a Georgia county tag that showed only the letters RENS from Laurens. The tag on the victim's car was in a similar condition.

    Green later arrived in South Carolina in possession of the car with a large amount of change and a roll of bills, asked a friend to burn the car for him (which request the friend refused), and traded the 30.06 rifle for a .25 caliber automatic. A Cochran florist testified the rifle was stolen from him about the time and in the vicinity Moore was seen with it.

    When Moore was informed while in jail that Green had been arrested with the Allen car in South Carolina he stated, "Damn, I told Green to get rid of that car and that rifle." Later, Moore stated to Pasby again, "You know, Green was supposed to have gotten rid of that rifle and the car."

    A plaster cast of a footprint found near Miss Allen's body was of similar size and impression as a flat Hushpuppy shoe taken from Moore's room. Tire tracks found near her body were similar in size and tread design to the tires found on Miss Allen's car. There was other forensic evidence that circumstantially connected Moore to the crimes.

    Moore testified in his own behalf that he met Green in an Alabama prison in 1975. On December 11, 1976, he saw Green in Cochran looking for him. Green, out on escape, was using the name Jerome Miller. Moore loaned Green some of his clothes and shoes.

    They went to various places on December 11, and on the day of the robbery, they went to Rosa Crawford's house to watch the football game. Rosa's parents drove Moore and Green to Moore's house, where Green borrowed the Hushpuppy shoes from Moore. Green left and Moore began drinking, watched Sonny and Cher, and then became nauseated and passed out. He awoke late that night, and went outside. The cafe was closed so he just sat under a tree and smoked. A friend came along and they smoked together. Then he went home and went to sleep.

    He denied making the statement to Pasby about robbing the Majik Market, raping Teresa Allen, and killing her. He denied getting a 30.06 rifle. He denied Johnson's testimony concerning Moore's asking about a place to rob. He denied Johnson's testimony concerning his statements about the rifle.

    He denied that he made the statement to Pasby while in jail. Moore explained the forensic evidence by stating that he had skinned himself while having intercourse with his girl friend. He also testified that Green exchanged his high platform shoes for appellant's Hushpuppys prior to the evening of the robbery.

    In rebuttal, the state presented testimony that when Green visited in South Carolina the morning following the robbery he was wearing high-heeled shoes and not Hushpuppys.
