People v. Shaw

Court acquitted Defendant of armed robbery, noting that officers did not recover the weapon or the funds, but found Defendant guilty of lesser included offense of robbery. Evidence at trial was insufficient to convict Defendant, where numerous aspects of victim’s testimony contained material inconsistencies, including accounts contrary to evidence from surveillance camera and testimony from police officers. Viewed in their entirety, impeachments of victim show that victim’s account at trial repeatedly strayed from what he told police and from surveillance videos. (NEVILLE and SIMON, concurring.)
