Opinion
January 26, 1993
Appeal from the Family Court, New York County (Judith B. Sheindlin, J.).
The evidence that appellant joined two other individuals in forming a triangular formation around the victim blocking the victim's escape while one of the other perpetrators robbed the victim of money, was sufficient to establish appellant's in-concert liability for the robbery notwithstanding that appellant never touched or spoke to the victim (see, People v Corbett, 162 A.D.2d 415, lv denied 77 N.Y.2d 837; see also, Matter of Wade F., 49 N.Y.2d 730). Given that appellant also left the scene with the other two perpetrators, we find nothing especially indicative of innocence in the fact that he remained in the area after the robbery and did not flee when approached by the police in the company of the victim. We have considered appellant's remaining contention and find it to be without merit.
