How courts have described this case

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

  • victims were physically restrained in unlocked room by death threats although able to leave room after defendant left
  • dictum that enhancement would not apply to ordering people during robbery to move to one side of a room
  • Although there was actually no accomplice, the victims thought there was at the time, and so we found Doubet's misrepresentation to be immaterial.
  • since armed bank robber uttered threats, “[t]he tellers were, for all intents and purposes, confined to the restroom,” where “the victims could do nothing about their situation because of the physical restraint”
  • dictum that enhancement would not apply to ordering people during robbery to move to one side of a room
  • individuals moved into restroom at gunpoint and closed in with “admonition by [defendant] that an armed accomplice stood guard outside the door”
