BLACKWELL, Justice.
Gary Kilgore was tried by a Clayton County jury and convicted of the murder of Souphoth Thammavongsa, as well as several other crimes related to the robbery of a video store that Thammavongsa owned. Kilgore appeals, contending that the trial court erred when it admitted evidence pursuant to the business records exception to the hearsay rule. We find no error, however, and we affirm.
Immediately after the robbery, Armstrong called his then-girlfriend from a cell phone and asked her to pick him up from a gas station near the video store. When Armstrong's girlfriend arrived, he told her about the robbery, including that Kilgore had killed the store's owner. Later, two of the victims identified Kilgore in a photo line-up, and a third victim identified him at trial. And the records custodian for a cell phone company presented evidence at trial that placed Kilgore's cell phone near the crime scene at and around the time the crimes were committed.
Kilgore does not dispute that the evidence is sufficient to sustain his convictions. Nevertheless, consistent with our usual practice in murder cases, we have reviewed the evidence and considered its legal sufficiency. We now conclude that the evidence adduced at trial was sufficient to authorize a rational trier of fact to find beyond a reasonable doubt that Kilgore was guilty of the crimes of which he was convicted. See Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 319(III)(B), 99 S.Ct. 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560 (1979).
2. In his sole enumeration of error, Kilgore claims that the trial court erred when it admitted cell phone records — and testimony from the records custodian of the cell phone company about those records — indicating that Kilgore's cell phone was near the video store at and around the time the crimes were committed. The trial court determined that the evidence was admissible under the business records exception to the hearsay rule, see former OCGA § 24-3-14,
Former OCGA § 24-3-14(b) provided that:
And former OCGA § 24-3-14(d) required that the provision "shall be liberally interpreted and applied." See Davis v. Harpagon Co., 283 Ga. 539, 541(2), 661 S.E.2d 545 (283 Ga. 539) (2008). Before a such a business record could be admitted, however, "a foundation [had to] be laid through the testimony of a witness who is familiar with the method of keeping records and who can testify thereto and to facts which show that the entry was made in the regular course of a business at the time of the event or within a reasonable time thereafter." Suarez v. Suarez, 257 Ga. 102, 103-104(2), 355 S.E.2d 649 (1987) (citation omitted). And if a party believed that a foundation had not been established sufficiently, he was required to "specify the foundation element he contends is lacking." Tolver v. State, 269 Ga. 530, 532(2), 500 S.E.2d 563 (1998).
Here, the records custodian for the cell phone company testified that one of the records at issue listed the locations of all the company's cell phone towers in Georgia during a span of time that included the date of the crimes and continued until changes to the towers were made in January 2009. The other records showed incoming and outgoing phone calls for Kilgore's cell phone (as well as for a phone owned by Armstrong's girlfriend) and indicated which tower on the cell phone tower list handled each of those calls, usually the one closest to the cell phone at the time of the call.
According to Kilgore, the foundation for the records was inadequate because the records custodian could not recall the starting date for the time span that he claimed the cell phone tower list covered. But the record custodian testified unequivocally that the list covered the dates of the calls relevant to the case. The inability of the custodian to testify with more detail about the list went only to the weight of the evidence and the credibility of his assertion that the list showed the towers as they existed on the crime date, not to the admissibility of the records. See Hurst, 285 Ga. at 297(3), 676 S.E.2d 165. The testimony of the records custodian provided a sufficient basis for the trial court to determine that the records — and the record custodian's testimony explaining what was contained in the records — were admissible under the business records exception to the hearsay rule. See id.
Judgment affirmed.
