Judge Webb
concurring.
I concur in the result but I do not agree with the majority as to what evidence supported a conviction of armed robbery. The majority reasons that although the defendant did not initially intend to take the duffel bag, the evidence that the defendant, armed with a club, prevented Mr. Demarias . from recovering the duffel bag supports a conviction of armed robbery. With this I disagree. I believe the evidence that Mr. Demarias was being assaulted with a deadly weapon at which time he threw his duffel bag toward the defendant and which duffel bag the defendant took into his possession and refused to return a short while later, supports a finding by the jury that at the time the duffel bag changed hands, the defendant intended to deprive Mr. Demarias of this personal property.
