Dunbar v. State

Dunbar, convicted of robbery and battery, asserts that the dual conviction amounts to double jeopardy. We disagree and affirm.

In the criminal incident, Dunbar attempted to snatch the victim’s purse. The victim, however, grabbed her purse and refused to relinquish it. Dunbar responded by lifting the victim up and swinging her completely around while she continued to grip the purse. Ultimately, the victim was forced to release the purse, but not before she suffered from two broken fingers and the dislocation of another. Both the victim and a bystander identified Dunbar as the assailant.
