Keith Richard Taylor v. State Indiana

This is an appeal from a conviction of robbery (IC 1971, 35-13-4-6, being Burns § 10-4101) at a trial conducted in the Marion Criminal Court, Honorable Saul I. Rabb, presiding. Appellant was sentenced to not less than ten nor more than twenty years at the Indiana State Reformatory. He bases his appeal on the contention that the evidence at trial was insufficient to sustain the conviction. Evidence introduced by the State at trial showed that one Sharon Murphy was the manager of Rix Roast Beef Restaurant on the night of March 7, 1971. She testified that she first saw the appellant at around 8:00 p.m. when he asked her for an employment application. Miss Murphy stated that appellant stayed in the restaurant for about one half hour and left without turning in the application.
