Joey bought a ticket to the Sugar Bowl game in New Orleans. Joey had a car but did not have enough money to buy the gasoline for the trip to the game. He stopped at an old-fashioned “full service” gas station near Birmingham and said to the attendant
“Fill ‘er up.” The sign at the station said “No credit.” The moment the attendant finished pumping the gas into Joey’s car, Joey sped off without paying. On these facts the state of Alabama charged Joey with robbery. Which of the following statements indicates the most likely outcome of Joey’s trial?
a. Joey would be convicted of robbery since he carried away personal property of another in a forceful manner.
b. Joey would likely be convicted of theft.
c. Joey would likely be convicted of burglary on the basis that he entered the station with the intent to commit a felony therein.
d. Joey would likely be found not guilty of any crime because there was insufficient evidence from which the jury could infer that he harbored a criminal intent.
