How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that carjacking prosecutions do not include the burden of proving an intent to deprive the victim of the vehicle and that, therefore, the motive for the taking is irrelevant
  • holding that evidence was sufficient to support conviction for carjacking when the testimony of officers supported that force or intimidation was used and the testimony of the victim indicated no force or intimidation was used
  • holding that “robbery and theft are not lesser-included offenses of carjacking”
  • explaining that robbery includes all the elements of theft, including an intent to deprive the owner of the property while carjacking does not contain such a requirement
