| Topic: | Robbery - Sufficiency of evidence |
| Summary of the Facts: | The motion for rehearing is granted, and this opinion is substituted for the original opinion. Ventura Moore, Sr. was convicted of robbery. He appeals. |
| Summary of Opinion Analysis: | Moore argues that the State failed to meet its burden of proof in proving the essential elements of the crime of robbery. The jurors could reasonably infer Moore’s felonious intent by looking to the circumstances surrounding the crime. The victim’s own testimony under direct examination established that Moore used force to take and carry away his property. The testimony of an eyewitness corroborated the victim’s version of events. Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the State, it is clear that any rational trier of fact could have found, beyond a reasonable doubt, that Moore used force to take and carry away the victim’s personal property, and did so with felonious intent. |
