Opinion
No. 7326SC418
Filed 25 July 1973
APPEAL by defendants from Grist, Judge, 27 November 1972 Schedule "C" Criminal Session of MECKLENBURG County Superior Court.
Attorney General Robert Morgan by Associate Attorney Charles R. Hassell, Jr. for the State.
John G. Plumides for defendant appellant Parks.
James H. Carson, Jr. for defendant appellant Wilson.
Each defendant was tried on indictment and convicted of the armed robbery of Herbert J. Sample, owner of a grocery store in Charlotte, North Carolina, which robbery took place on 29 May 1972. Parks was sentenced to imprisonment for 25 to 28 years; Wilson was sentenced to imprisonment for 20 to 30 years.
There were four persons in the grocery who witnessed some or all of the events at the time of the robbery. Two of the witnesses slaw clearly defendant Parks and were able to identify him: two others saw clearly defendant Wilson and identified him.
This case presents only the record proper for review.
Each defendant was tried on a valid bill of indictment. There is competent evidence both of the commission of the crime and the identity of the defendants as the perpetrators of the crime. The verdict of the jury is proper, and the sentences each are within that allowed by statute.
No error.
Judges BRITT and BALEY concur.
