Opinion
No. 50389.
June 27, 1980.
Appeal from the District Court, Ramsey County, Edward D. Mulally, J.
C. Paul Jones, Public Defender, and Susan Maki, Asst. Public Defender, Minneapolis, for appellant.
Warren Spannaus, Atty. Gen., Thomas W. Foley, County Atty., and Steven C. DeCoster, Asst. County Atty., St. Paul, for respondent.
Considered and decided by the court en banc without oral argument.
Defendant was found guilty by a district court jury of a charge of aggravated robbery, Minn.Stat. § 609.245 (1978), and was sentenced by the trial court to a prison term of 1 to 20 years. The sole issue on this appeal from judgment of conviction is whether the evidence identifying defendant as the robber was legally insufficient. There is no merit to this issue. Police followed a trail from the scene of the robbery to defendant's girl friend's apartment, where they found defendant and the fruits of the crime. The victim positively identified defendant shortly thereafter as well as at trial.
Affirmed.
