Description
Following a jury trial, Lincoln Roberts was convicted of one count of robbery in the second degree, AS 11.41.510, and one count of criminal trespass in the first degree, AS 11.46.320. Superior Court Judge James R. Blair sentenced Roberts to a ten-year term of imprisonment for robbery and to a concurrent one-year term for trespass. Roberts appeals, contending that the two convictions were based on inconsistent jury verdicts and that his sentence is excessive. We affirm. On June 15, 1982, Roberts kicked in the door of the apartment of an acquaintance, John Alexander. Roberts demanded "drink or money" from Alexander. When Alexander said he had neither, Roberts struck him, breaking two ribs. Roberts then took a wrist watch and a small amount of cash and left Alexanders apartment. Roberts was apprehended shortly afterwards; the watch was still in his possession. Roberts was brought to trial for robbery in the second degree and burglary in the first degree. Roberts was convicted of robbery. He was acquitted of burglary but convicted of the lesser-included offense of first-degree criminal trespass. On appeal, Roberts contends that it was inconsistent for the jury to conclude that he was guilty of robbery and not guilty of burglary.
