C. Finally, defendant claims error in the court's instructions on whether the killing occurred during the course of the attempted robbery. He contends that the instructions were confusing, improperly shifted the burden of proving abandonment to the defense, and omitted the defense's theory that the killing occurred after the attempt had ended. Upon review of the instructions we find defendant's arguments are meritless. It instructed the jury on the elements of attempt and on the requirements for abandonment, and reiterated that the State had the burden of proof. The court's instructions, taken as a whole, were proper.
Defendant fails to show the existence of error that has resulted in a miscarriage of justice.
