Although the testimony of Jackson’s accomplices may have conflicted, such testimony was * Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4. sufficient to support Jackson’s convictions. The accomplices’ testimony was neither incredible nor insubstantial on its face and was sufficient to support the jury verdicts.
