Sanders v. State
Court of Criminal Appeals of Alabama
1Opinion of the Court
Appellant was indicted and convicted for robbery in the first degree, a Class A felony. Section 13A-8-41, Code of Alabama 1975. At sentencing, it was determined that appellant had been convicted of three prior felonies. The trial court, accordingly, fixed his punishment under the Habitual Felony Offender Statute to life imprisonment without parole. Section13A-5-9 (c)(3), Code of Alabama 1975.
I
Appellant first questions the sufficiency of the State's evidence. He claims, in essence, that he was a victim of circumstances by merely being present at the scene when the robbery occurred. We disagree.
