California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. J.T. (In re J.T.), A145032 (Cal. App. 2016):
Returning to the case at hand, we conclude there was sufficient evidence to support the juvenile court's finding that minor committed second degree robbery because, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution, a rational trier of fact could have found true the essential elements of robbery beyond a reasonable doubt. " 'Robbery is the felonious taking of personal property in the possession of another, from his person or immediate presence, and against his will, accomplished by means of force or fear.' ([Pen. Code,] 211.) To be convicted of robbery, the perpetrator must intend to deprive the victim of the property permanently." (People v. Huggins (2006) 38 Cal.4th 175, 214.) Taking or depriving a victim of property, in turn, has two aspects: (1) achieving possession of the property, known as "caption," and (2) carrying the property away, or "asportation." (People v. Gomez (2008) 43 Cal.4th 249, 255.)
