People v. Randolph
Michigan Supreme Court
648 N.W.2d 164 (2002)
- Written by Carolyn Strutton, JD
Facts
Kalvin Randolph (defendant) concealed property from a store on his person, paid for other merchandise, and then left the store, taking the hidden items without paying for them. The store’s security personnel had been monitoring Randolph’s actions and followed him out of the store. When the security guards approached Randolph, he attempted to run. One of the security guards grabbed Randolph, and Randolph swung his arms and thereby assaulted at least one of the guards. Randolph was convicted of robbery and appealed. The court of appeals overturned Randolph’s conviction for insufficient evidence and ordered the entry of a conviction for larceny but allowed the prosecution to retry the robbery charge if additional evidence was uncovered. Randolph appealed.
