California Court of Appeal

Conviction of defendant for various offenses arising from an attempted bank robbery and a sentence of 200 years to life plus 10 years, are affirmed where: 1) the evidence of actual and reasonable fear is overwhelming and any error in failing to explain the actual-and-reasonable-fear concept to the jury did not affect the outcome and was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt; and 2) substantial evidence supports defendant's convictions of the robbery and attempted robbery counts.
