Founts v. State
Nevada Supreme Court
1Opinion of the Court
*167OPINION
By the Court,
Zenoff, C. J.:
Richard Founts and Gary Luffman were convicted of two counts of armed robbery and one count of attempted robbery for the September 9, 1969 robbery of a Reno barber shop.
Founts was identified as the robber by the three barbers who were in the shop at the time of the robbery. One of the barbers, Mr. Keough, testified at the grand jury hearing that he had been held up by Founts in April of 1969. He said that he recognized Founts’ voice before even turning to see him, since “When a man says ‘Stick them up’ twice, you recognize that voice.”
