New Jersey v. Hughes
521 A.2d 1295 (1986)
Nature Of The Case
This section contains the nature of the case and procedural background.
Facts
The cashier at the office of the Courier Post in Cherry Hill was robbed at gunpoint of a large amount of cash by two men. D was indicted for robbery, possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, and conspiracy to rob. According to D, during the period of approximately one month before the robbery, he had been approached on a number of occasions by Tyrone Wolley who solicited him to take part in robbing the Courier Post. D rejected the invitation and answered Wolley that he was not interested in doing armed robberies. Approximately one or two weeks before the Courier Post robbery actually occurred, D visited Detective Beverly and told him of Wolley's solicitations. D did not suggest that he had agreed to join the enterprise and said that he told Wolley he would not do so. D was convicted of a conspiracy to rob. D appealed claiming in part that the trial court should have instructed on renunciation.
