P. v. Cobb CA4/1
Defendant Joshua Cobb challenges his judgment of conviction for robbery on two grounds. First, Cobb contends that he cannot be convicted of a robbery because the facts demonstrate that he did not use force or fear in taking items from a grocery store and, under the common law, the offense of robbery requires the application of force or fear at the time the pilfered items are taken. Cobb asserts that long-held California case authority has improperly expanded the meaning of robbery beyond the Legislature's intent, and asks this court to reexamine the issue. Second, Cobb contends that there is insufficient evidence to support the jury's finding that he committed a robbery.
We conclude that both of Cobb's contentions are without merit. We therefore affirm the judgment.
