Is there any case law where a defendant committed the crimes of robbery and attempted murder with divisible intents?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Peters, G055800 (Cal. App. 2019):
In People v. Cleveland (2001) 87 Cal.App.4th 263, 271-272, the court concluded that the defendant committed the crimes of robbery and attempted murder with divisible intents. "While it is true that attempted murder can, under some circumstances, constitute the 'force' necessary to commit a robbery, here, it was not the necessary force." (Id. at p. 272.)
