State v. Skaggs (1979) Overview | LSData Case Brief Video Summary

The defendant was convicted of theft, assault, robbery, and unauthorized use of a vehicle. During a confrontation with a deputy sheriff, the defendant and another person stole the officer's patrol car and his service revolver. The defendant appealed, claiming that the court made an error in denying his motion for a directed verdict of acquittal for robbery and in entering separate convictions for robbery and unauthorized use of a vehicle.

The most relevant facts to the court's analysis are the defendant's intent to commit theft and his actions during the confrontation with the deputy sheriff.
