Text: The facts most favorable to the judgment reveal that shortly after 2:00 a.m. on August 18, 1990, in Lafayette, Indiana, Gina Handley stopped to use a pay telephone. She parked her automobile a few steps away from the telephone booth, with the engine running, the driver-side door open, and the headlights on. Immediately after she re-entered the automobile, a man, whom she identified as Farrell, approached her from behind and ordered, Scoot over, I've got a gun. Handley observed the man standing by the car pointing a gun at her. She moved into the passenger's seat. Farrell entered the automobile and ordered Handley to place her hands behind her neck and keep her head down. Again, Handley obeyed. Farrell began driving through the city. Despite pleas to be let free, Farrell repeatedly threatened Handley and shoved her head down. After fifteen or twenty minutes, Handley was able to jump out of the automobile. Handley informed police about the attack. The following day, Handley identified Farrell in a photo array. She also identified him at trial as her attacker.
