Washington v. Larsen

[23 WashApp Page 218] Christian W. Larsen appeals his conviction of first-degree robbery committed against Donald Green. In October of 1977, Green visited a massage parlor where he paid Larsen's wife with a $100 check to perform an act of prostitution. Thereafter, Green stopped payment on the check because his intoxication prevented his receiving the expected services. Early in November, Larsen called at Green's home and forced Green to write a second check for $100. After it was cashed, Larsen was arrested and charged with armed robbery.
