P. v. Morris
A jury convicted defendant Ulis Morris of one count of robbery. The trial court sentenced him to three years in state prison. Defendant appeals from the judgment of conviction.
The evidence at trial showed that on July 17, 2010, Amy Langley-Larson (Larson) went bar hopping with a female friend in Hollywood. Later, at a pizza parlor, her cell phone was taken from her table. Defendant and two other people (a Hispanic man and a blonde woman) offered to help her get it back. After calling her cell phone, they led Larson to the Gilbert Motel to obtain her phone. While there, the blonde girl said that Larson could come up to their room to get her phone. Larson refused, and started walking away. Defendant and the other two walked with her to the corner, and then defendant grabbed Larson’s purse. Larson struggled, but was knocked to the ground. Defendant fled with the purse.
