Description
James Humphrey and William Wrenn, defendants-appellants herein, were tried in district court before a jury and convicted of robbery. Humphrey was sentenced to an indeterminate term not to exceed eight years in the Idaho State Penitentiary, while Wrenn was sentenced to an indeterminate sentence not to exceed four years, and this appeal follows. We reverse. Richard Allen, the victim of the alleged robbery and the primary prosecution witness, testified at trial as follows: During the morning of March 2, 1977, he was walking through an alley in Pocatello when Wrenn and Humphrey gestured for him to come over to their car. A conversation ensued and he agreed to assist Wrenn and Humphrey in procuring transit aid from the Salvation Army. Prior to this meeting he and the appellants had never met. Allen testified he voluntarily entered the car and that he, Wrenn and Humphrey spent some time together driving around in the vehicle, buying gas, purchasing beer at a local supermarket, and going to the Salvation Army to procure transit aid for gasoline. After they purchased gasoline with the transit aid, Wrenn and Humphrey proceeded to drive him to a spot outside the city limits of Pocatello. Allen testified that Wrenn and Humphrey stated that they had guns and unless he gave them his money they would use the guns. He stated he never saw the weapons but turned over the money, between $75 and $100, out of fear of possible bodily harm.
