Description
1 Plaintiff in error, Fred Wilson France, was charged in the District Court of Oklahoma County with the crime of
Robbery by Force or Fear. He was tried by a jury, found guilty, and his punishment assessed at Nine Years in the penitentiary.
From that judgment and sentence he appeals. 2 From the record, it appears that on April 11, 1968, Mrs. Junia Azel King, 85 years old, was walking on Harvey
near Main Street in Oklahoma City, when a man grabbed her from behind, snatched her purse, and ran away. She never did see
his face. A bystander chased the man, retrieved the purse and returned it to Mrs. King. Don Myers was the bystander, who happened
to be driving by, saw the incident, parked his car, gave chase, retrieved the purse and returned it to the victim. He identified
the defendant as the purse snatcher, and Mrs. King as the lady whose purse was taken. Officer Guiterres of the Oklahoma City
Police Department arrested defendant at the place where Myers caught up with him and retrieved the purse. The defendant did
not testify nor offer any evidence in his behalf.
