Facts
The victim was opening his store and he had taken a bag of silver from his safe. Lear (defendant) walked in the store, grabbed the bag out of the victim’s hands and ran out. Lear did not say anything or in any way threaten the victim, and he did not use more force than was necessary to remove the bag from the victim’s hands. The trial court convicted Lear of robbery. Lear appealed.
