Description
Arthur Everett Small, Jr. was the defendant in the trial court and is the appellant here. The defendant was convicted of aggravated robbery and conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery, and he was thereafter sentenced to the Colorado State Penitentiary. He has appealed from the judgment and sentence of the trial court and has alleged that errors occurred which require either dismissal of the charges against him or reversal and a new trial. As grounds for reversal or dismissal, the defendant has presented four primary issues for us to pass upon. He claims that he was denied a speedy trial. He also asserts that his conviction followed the trial courts improper instructions to the jury on the credibility of witnesses and of an accomplice and should, therefore, be set aside. Another contention is that the statutory crime of robbery is so ambiguous in its terms that it is unconstitutional. His last argument is that the evidence was insufficient to sustain a conviction. We affirm.
