Sam is charged with robbery. The prosecution alleges that Sam robbed a jewelry store. The robbery took place at 1:00 p.m. Sam and Danny committed the crime together. Sam went into the store with a gun. Pointing the gun at the clerk, he said: Put the diamonds in the bag or Ill shoot. The clerk put the diamonds in the bag.
Danny, who had a long beard, was waiting outside in a getaway car. When Sam got into the car, Danny sped away. He was nervous and crashed the car into a utility pole. The crash did not disable the car. As Dannys car was speeding away, the owner of the jewelry store ran out of the store. While chasing the car, he was yelling: Robbery! Stop thief! Stop thief! Fred, standing at the street corner, saw store owners action.
Three months later, Sam and Danny were arrested. Danny confessed to the crime. He told the police it was Sams idea to rob the store. Danny reached a plea deal and agreed to testify for the prosecution. Three days before trial, Danny changed his mind. He told the prosecution that he would not testify against Sam because Sam had threatened to harm his wife if he would testify.
