ROBBERY IN THE FIRST DEGREE [PHYSICAL INJURY]

In order to find Defendant guilty of Robbery in the First Degree, you must find

the State has proved the following five (5) elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

(1) Defendant's conduct occurred while Defendant was committing theft;

(2) Defendant used force, or threatened the immediate use of force;

(3) Defendant acted to prevent or overcome resistance to the theft;

(4) Defendant, or another participant in the crime, caused physical injury to a

person who was not another participant in the crime, while committing (or during the

immediate flight after committing) theft; and

(5) Defendant acted intentionally.

“Intentionally” means it was Defendant’s conscious objective or purpose to

prevent or overcome resistance to the theft, or to retain possession of the property

after the theft.

“While Defendant was committing theft” includes any act during the theft, or

in immediate flight after the theft. This also includes any other conduct which aided

in the commission of the theft in any way.

“Theft” means Defendant took, exercised control over, or obtained the

property of another person with the intent to deprive that person of the property.

"Force" means the capacity or power to persuade, convince, compel, restrain,

intimidate or coerce and does not necessarily imply physical violence.

“Use of force” means a show of power or strength sufficient to compel a person

to give up property.

"Physical injury" means any impairment of physical condition or substantial

pain.
