People v. Badhawk

KIRSHBAUM, Justice.

The People appeal the trial court’s order setting aside a jury verdict finding the ap-pellee, Gene Badhawk, guilty of the offense of aggravated robbery and entering a judgment of guilty of simple robbery. 1 The trial court concluded that the initial verdict was inconsistent with the jury’s subsequent special finding that Badhawk did not use, or possess and threaten to use, a deadly weapon during the commission of the robbery. Because we do not find the jury’s verdict inconsistent with its special finding, we reverse and remand with directions to reinstate the verdict.
