"Law is experience developed by reason and applied continually to further experience." - Roscoe Pound

The ability to breakdown, analyze and apply a statute is equally as important as the ability to breakdown, analyze and apply a court decision. Read the following code section containing the statutory definition of robbery and the provided case hypothetical:

  • Robbery: The felonious taking of personal property in the possession of another, from his person or immediate presence, and against his will, accomplished by means of force or fear.
  • Hypothetical: Defendant points a gun at a victim and tells him to hand over his wallet. The victim does and defendant opens the wallet, looks inside, sees it is empty, and throws it on the ground.

Respond to the following items, and use proper legal citations pursuant to The Bluebook to support your response:

  • Based on the above definition, identify the six statutory elements of robbery.
  • Based on the above hypothetical and the six elements of robbery that you have identified, determine which facts in the hypothetical satisfy which elements of robbery.
  • Conclude and discuss whether the Defendant in the hypothetical committed robbery. Justify your conclusion.
