View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court erred in failing to give lesser included offense instruction because elements of theft were stated in robbery and armed robbery indictments and there was evidence supporting a theft finding, however, the error was harmless as the jury convicted defendant of greater offense of armed robbery, so it would not have convicted him of theft.
