P. v. Fahrion
Leanne Michelle Fahrion and Daniel Rudolfo Mendez were each convicted of attempted robbery, and Mendez was additionally convicted of related gun crimes. In this appeal, both of them challenge the sufficiency of the evidence to support the attempted robbery conviction. Fahrion and Mendez make essentially the same argument; i.e., that the sole evidence supporting the attempted robbery charge was Fahrions act of grabbing the victims wallet off of the console of the car the two of them were occupying, and then immediately putting it back when he demanded she do so. Both appeals assert this rather docile effort does not include the element of force or fear necessary to constitute a robbery.
