Syllabus

EVIDENCE – SUFFICIENCY – ROBBERY – MOTION FOR NEW TRIAL – DISCLOSURE – MATERIAL EVIDENCE: Defendant's conviction for robbery was not supported by sufficient evidence where the evidence failed to establish that the defendant threatened harm to coerce the alleged victim to relinquish property. [But see DISSENT: Where the owner of the money handed it to a friend, defendant pulled out a gun and demanded the money from the friend, defendant undoubtedly saw the exchange of the money from the owner to the friend, and defendant was in close proximity to the owner and the friend while brandishing a gun, both the owner of the money and the friend are victims, and defendant's conviction for robbery of the owner was supported by sufficient evidence.]
