Heading: Deputy Marconnet's Gun

Text: Mickel testified that after defendant grabbed and hit Deputy Marconnet, and while defendant was wrestling with him, he told Mickel to grab the gun. When Mickel did so, defendant's criminal liability for aggravated robbery was complete: (1) property was taken from Deputy Marconnet's person  Mickel took Deputy Marconnet's gun out of his hand; (2) Deputy Marconnet's gun was taken against his will  as Deputy Marconnet was reaching for his gun and while defendant was physically restraining him, Mickel took the gun out of Deputy Marconnet's hand; (3) Deputy Marconnet's gun was taken by force and the force was exercised with the intent to prevent resistance to the taking of the gun  defendant grabbed and hit Deputy Marconnet and physically restrained Deputy Marconnet while Mickel took the gun  for the purpose of overpowering Deputy Marconnet. See State v. Bishop, 144 Ariz. 521, 524, 698 P.2d 1240, 1243 (1985) (`Force' sufficient to constitute robbery may either be before, or at the time of the taking, and it must be of such a nature as to show that it was intended to overpower the party robbed.); and (4) the person taking the property was aided by a person who, with the intent to promote or facilitate the robbery, solicited or commanded another person to commit the robbery  Mickel took Deputy Marconnet's gun and was aided by defendant who, intending that Mickel take the gun, told Mickel to grab the gun.
