Heading: Aggravated Robbery of Derrick Williams

Text: Likewise, substantial evidence supports the appellant's conviction for the aggravated robbery of Derrick Williams. Appellant's accomplice, Kareem Holloway, testified that he and appellant divided the proceeds of the robberies upon meeting back up after the robberies/murder. Appellant argues that the testimony of his accomplice, alone, is insufficient to sustain a conviction for this charge and that it requires corroboration. By arguing that Kareem Holloway's testimony about the division of proceeds requires corroboration, the appellant once again overlooks that, for aggravated robbery, a transfer of property does not need to take place, and the offense is complete when physical force is threatened. See Robinson v. State, supra . Therefore, the State did not need to corroborate Mr. Holloway's testimony about the division of proceeds to prove the aggravated-robbery charge involving Derrick Williams. Rather, the State proved the appellant's guilt with LaShun Henderson's testimony, which established that the appellant and another man came into the room where he and Derrick Williams were standing, pointed guns and demanded money, and that Mr. Williams, who was standing by the dresser where the money was laying, did what he was told. Based on the foregoing, we affirm the trial court on this point, as well.
