Stewart v. State

85 Nev. 388, 455 P.2d 914 (1969)

Facts

Stewart (D) approached Luedtke with a gun and demanded all of his money. Luedtke produced the money in his wallet and told D that the gas station money was in a safe. Several policemen entered the station and D told Luedtke to pretend he was selling them some oil. D then placed the gun in Luedtke's desk and attempted to escape. D was convicted of attempted robbery. D appealed: the abandonment of the gun destroyed his intent to commit robbery.
