• holding evidence sufficient where victim of robbery was threatened “whether or not she was placed in fear of imminent harm”
• explaining that accused may be properly convicted as party to offense even if indictment did not charge him as party
• “It is the use or exhibition of a deadly weapon—not its perception by the victim— that is the aggravating element of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon.”
• “The act of pointing a gun at an individual is, by itself, threatening conduct.”
• “Moreover, ‘[b]y defining robbery to be theft plus either threatening or placing another in fear, [the robbery] statute demonstrates that the term “threaten” means something other than placing a person “in fear of imminent bodily injury or death.”’”
• “In determining the legal sufficiency of the evidence, we must consider all the evidence in the record, whether direct or circumstantial, properly or improperly admitted, or submitted by the prosecution or the defense.”
