P. v. Royal
Robert Haig Royal appeals from the judgment entered after a jury convicted him of second degree robbery. (Pen. Code, §§ 211, 212.5.)[1] Appellant admitted one prior serious felony conviction (§ 667, subd. (a)(1)) and one prior serious or violent felony conviction within the meaning of California's "Three Strikes" law. (§§ 667, subds. (b)-(i), 1170.12, subds. (a)-(d).) The trial court sentenced him to prison for 11 years.
Appellant contends that (1) the evidence is insufficient to establish the "force or fear" element of robbery, (2) the trial court gave an erroneous special instruction on the meaning of the "fear" element, and (3) the trial court erroneously denied his section 1538.5 motion to suppress evidence seized by the police after they had stopped his vehicle. We affirm.
