Higgins v. State

OPINION

RUCKER, Judge.

After a trial by jury Defendant-Appellant Chester Higgins was convicted of attempted robbery, as a Class B felony. 1 He now appeals raising three issues for our review which we rearrange and rephrase as follows: (1) did the trial court err in denying Higgins’ request for a mistrial; (2) did the trial court err in instructing the jury on reasonable doubt; and (3) does a charge of attempted robbery as a Class B felony require allegation and proof that the defendant intended to inflict bodily injury on the victim.

We affirm.
