FACTS:A jury convicted Andrew Roberts Jr. of aggravated robbery. The evidence shows that Barnes, the robbery victim, who had known Roberts for more than 40 years, gave Roberts a ride in his car to an apartment complex known as “the projects,” where both men had grown up. As Roberts and Barnes sat in the car in the parking lot of the complex, Barnes became suspicious that he was about to be robbed by other men in the parking lot.
