Description
Trent L. Chamblis was convicted by a jury in Recorder's Court of Detroit, Joseph A. Gillis, J., of larceny from the person.
Defendant was charged with armed robbery and, over defense counsel's express objection, the jury was instructed on the lesser
included offenses of unarmed robbery and larceny from the person. The Court of Appeals, R. B. Burns, P. J., and T. M. Burns
and R. M. Maher, JJ., reversed and ordered defendant discharged, concluding that there was no evidence produced to establish
the crime of which defendant was convicted and that the jury should have returned a verdict of either guilty or not guilty
of armed robbery (Docket No. 20569). The people appeal. Held: 1. There was competent evidence from which the jury could have inferred that the crime of larceny from the person was committed,
and the Court of Appeals was in error in concluding otherwise.
