Edwards v. State

Smith, Judge.

Willie James Edwards was convicted by a jury of armed robbery. The evidence presented at trial showed that in the early morning hours of February 27, 1992, two men entered a service station in Rockdale County. One man stayed at the door. The other man, wearing a light-colored shirt and brown pants, approached the clerk and displayed a pistol stuck in his waistband. He asked for the cash drawer, which the clerk placed on the counter, and the men left the store with the money. The clerk telephoned the police and described the robber with the gun and his clothing.
