Facts: A masked man enters a drugstore after midnight with a pistol. He robs the cash register and, during the escape, shoots the store clerk, who dies, and also wounds a customer; he escapes with money. He is charged with robbery, murder, and physical injuries. (a) Does one act qualify as a special complex crime under the doctrine of special complex or composite crimes? If yes, identify the complex formed. (b) What is the proper penalty when a complex crime is involved? (c) How should the court treat the separate offenses charged under these facts?

Choose the Best Answer

Yes; the complex formed is robbery with murder; the penalty is the penalty for the greater offense (murder); the court should convict for the complex and merge the included offenses (robbery and physical injuries) into that single conviction. No; one act cannot form a complex crime; the three offenses must be punished separately as independent counts. Yes; the complex formed is robbery with murder; the penalty is life imprisonment (as the maximum for the greater offense); the court should convict for the complex and merge all included offenses into a single judgment. Yes; the complex formed is robbery with murder; the penalty is the maximum of the two offenses; the court should convict for the complex and not separately for robbery or physical injuries.
