The PEOPLE v. Minor

The defendant Arizono Minor was indicted together with one Claiborne for both robbery and armed robbery of Wade Batteast. Defendant was tried by a jury in the criminal court of Cook County and found guilty of robbery while unarmed. He was sentenced to 5 to 10 years in the penitentiary and brings this cause before us on writ of error.
