People v. York

Defendant was convicted, after bench trial, of retail theft and burglary and sentenced to concurrent terms totaling 6 years, for stealing several bottles of liquor and steaks from a grocery store. A rational trier of fact could have found that Defendant entered the store with the intent to commit a theft. His actions were quick and deliberate, a get-away driver was waiting for him, he had committed similar crimes in the past, and he made comments suggesting, in phone conversations, that he planned to commit a theft at that grocery that day, which clearly acknowledged a preconceived plan. (HUDSON and BRIDGES, concurring.)
