Description
Michael Williams appeals his jury conviction for robbery, under AS 11.15.240, and the resulting six-year sentence. He and his brother, Dale, were tried jointly for the robbery of an all-night grocery in Anchorage just after midnight on July 27, 1977. The principal issue at trial was the identity of the robbers. The store clerk was able to identify Michael but not Dale. The state also planned to call Gary Prior, who lived with the Williams brothers, because Prior had told the police that he was outside of the store during the robbery and could identify both Michael and Dale. Prior, however, invoked his fifth amendment privilege against self-incrimination and refused to answer any questions at all beyond his name and address, even after being held in contempt for his refusal. Because the trial court knew in advance of Priors intended refusal to answer questions, the attempted questioning occurred out of the jurys presence.
