State v. Scott

Defendant Alfred Lewis appeals from his conviction and sentence following a joint trial on a charge of armed robbery.

On January 8, 1967, a Seattle transit driver was robbed by three young men who boarded his coach. One of them, later identified as defendant Lewis, stood in front of the driver holding a gun on him, and took money from the change box. Another, identified as defendant Scott, stood behind the driver, pressing what seemed a gun to the back of the driver’s head, and took the driver’s I.D. case, bag and wrist watch. The defendants worked in concert.
