Ms. Dover was a question of fact, to be determined by the jury. Here, the jury concluded that defendant still was able to form the requisitespecific intent, and we cannot disturb that finding on appeal. Next, defendant contests the trial court's failure to dismiss the charge of common law robbery due to an insufficiency of evidence to establish each element of the offense. We conclude the State failed to produce sufficient evidence as to the requisite element of force. The requisite force for robbery may be either actual or constructive.
Actual force connotes violence, or force to the body.
Id. Constructive force connotes placing the victim in fear. Here, defendant used neither actual nor constructive force to gain possession of Ms. Dover's purse. Nearly a century and a half ago, our Supreme Court articulated the amount of violence required to constitute actual force. In short, the victim must be induced to part with her property as a result of the violence. I was sitting on the seat in the back.
