Description
Appellant Billy Dawson Slaughter was charged with two counts of aggravated robbery under Minn. Stat. § 609.245, subd. 1 (2004) and one count of simple robbery under Minn. Stat. § 609.24 (2004). After Slaughter waived his right to a jury trial, the district court acquitted him of the charged robbery offenses, but convicted him of the uncharged lesser-included offense of felony theft under Minn. Stat. § 609.52, subd. 2(1) (2004). The court of appeals affirmed the conviction. State v. Slaughter, No. A03-601, 2004 WL 615042 (Minn. App. March 30, 2004). We granted further review to consider Slaughters arguments that (1) the district court improperly denied his motion for judgment of acquittal, (2) the court improperly raised and considered the lesser-included offense of theft, and (3) there was insufficient evidence to sustain his conviction of theft. We affirm.
