How courts have described this case

• finding that co-defendants had engaged in “one continuous conspiratorial relationship. . . to commit robbery and murder,” notwithstanding a later-changed agreement as to who would carry out the acts
• remanding with instructions to vacate judgment of conviction on conspiracy to commit robbery with deadly weapon
• noting that the defendant was not prejudiced by the joint trial on all the charges — even those added less than a month before trial — because “the charges were so interrelated and bound together by a common scheme that the evidence as to all charges was mutually admissible”
• “‘[a] defendant can lose his rights under joinder and severance law by failing to assert them in a timely fashion’”
• “ ‘[a] defendant can lose his rights under joinder and severance law by failing to assert them in a timely fashion’ ”
• only one sentence can be imposed for common law conspiracy no matter how many criminal acts the conspirators have agreed to commit; unit of prosecution is the agreement or combination rather than each of its criminal objectives
