People v. Williams

[123 CalApp2d Page 227] These defendants were jointly charged with robbery. In the first count it was charged that on April 9, 1953, they took $90 from Jesus Carrillo by force and fear. The second count charged them with taking $50.50 from Demetrio Avina by force and fear. As to each count it was charged that they were armed with a deadly weapon, a .22 rifle and a 20-gauge shotgun. A jury found each defendant guilty of first degree robbery on each count, and further found that two of them had been armed with a deadly weapon. A motion for a new trial was denied and all five defendants have appealed from that order and from the judgment.
