In the Court of Appeals of Georgia A13A0622. CARTER v. THE STATE. DO-023 C DOYLE , Presiding Judge. Following a jury trial, Vincent Scott Carter appeals from his conviction of two counts each of aggravated child molestation1 and child molestation.^[2] He contends that the trial court erred by (1) allowing testimony as to the ultimate issue, (2) allowing improper bolstering testimony, and (3) convicting him on insufficient evidence. For the reasons that follow, we affirm. Construed in favor of the verdict,3 the record shows that one day in school, five-year-old L. C.’s class was given a presentation by the school counselor about on four of the five counts, and the trial court denied Carter’s motion for new trial, giving rise to this appeal.

1. Carter contends that the trial court erred by allowing testimony by two lay witnesses as to the ultimate issue in the case. He points to testimony from L. C.’s mother that she “couldn’t deny that something was going on with” L. C. and that “there was no question that something had happened” ; he also challenges testimony from the DFCS investigator that L. C. was “shutting down” in the second interview but ultimately “started to seem to come around, [and] told us the exact same account . . . an accurate account of what had happened before.”

Pretermitting whether this was error, Carter did not object to this testimony at trial.

In order to raise on appeal an impropriety regarding the admissibility of evidence, the specific ground of objection must be made at the time the evidence is offered, and the failure to do so amounts to a waiver of that specific ground. . . Inasmuch as appellant did not object at trial that the testimony was inadmissible because it was the opinion of a witness on the ultimate issue to be decided by the jury, appellant waived the ability to raise the issue on appeal.4

Despite his waiver, Carter contends that the admission of this testimony constituted plain error. But that doctrine “is currently limited to alleged error in three circumstances: the sentencing phase of a trial resulting in the death penalty, a trial judge’s expression of opinion in violation of OCGA § 17-8-57, and a jury charge affecting substantial rights of the parties as provided under OCGA § 17-8-58 (b).”5 Because Carter failed to object at trial, “and plain error review does not currently apply to allegations regarding the improper admission of evidence, the trial court did not commit reversible error in allowing the testimony.”6

2. Carter also contends that the trial court erred by allowing improper bolstering of witnesses’ credibility. Carter points to references to L. C.’s intelligence and a statement by one witness that the nurse who examined L. C. is “very competent at conducting sexual exams.” “This bolstering argument, however, is not properly before the Court because appellant never made an objection [at trial] to the testimony on the basis of improper bolstering.” 7 Nor is this alleged error subject to plain error review.^[8] Therefore, this enumeration presents no basis for reversal.

3. Finally, Carter challenges the sufficiency of the evidence with respect to Counts 1, 2, and 3, all of which involve improper touching or penetration of L. C.’s anus. Carter argues that the evidence did not show that he placed his penis or fingers in or around L. C.’s anus.

When an appellate court reviews the sufficiency of the evidence, the relevant question is whether, after viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, any rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. This familiar standard gives full play to the responsibility of the trier of fact fairly to resolve conflicts in the testimony, to weigh the evidence, and to draw reasonable inferences from basic facts to ultimate facts. Once a defendant has been found guilty of the crime charged, the factfinder’s role as weigher of the evidence is preserved through a legal conclusion that upon judicial review all of the evidence is to be considered in the light most favorable to the prosecution.9 At trial, the evidence included disclosure by L. C. that Carter touched her “bathing suit places.” L. C. also drew a picture showing her own markings on her buttocks along with her written words “no, no, no.” The physical examination revealed healed scars on L. C.’s anus, which the examining expert opined was consistent with penetration by a penis. Viewing this evidence under the appellate standard of review, a rational trier of fact could find that Carter was guilty of each count involving penetration or touching of L. C.’s anus. Accordingly, this enumeration is without merit.

Judgment affirmed. McFadden and Boggs, JJ., concur.
