State of New Jersey v. Brian W. Samuels

1-31-07 (A-88-05)

The State submitted sufficient evidence from which a jury could
conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that Samuels conspired to and
did commit an armed robbery. Nonetheless, the convictions for
conspiracy and armed robbery must be reversed and retried in
view of the trial court’s failure to charge the lesser-included
offense of attempted robbery and the court’s improper charge on
the elements of conspiracy and accomplice liability.
