Hurst v. State

• J. Fred Jones, Justice.

Thomas Wayne Hurst was convicted of robbery at: a jury trial in the Garland County Circuit Court and was sentenced to 10 years in the penitentiary. On appeal to this court he relies on the following points for reversal:

"The verdict was contrary to the law.

The verdict was contrary to the evidence.

The verdict was contrary to both the law and evidence.

The verdict and sentence were excessive.”

The gist of appellant’s argument under his first three points is that the state’s evidence failed to sustain his conviction of robbery as defined by statute.
