Description
[26 N.Y.2d 106 Page 108] The record leaves no doubt that Albert Hicks died of a stab wound and that it was the defendant who inflicted it in the
course of robbing him. While in the company of several friends, the defendant asked one of them, a Johnnie Cooper, for a loan.
"I need some money," he told him, "I have to get it one way or another, even if I have to kill somebody."1 A few minutes
later, Hicks came along on the other side of the street; the defendant walked over to him and they entered a building together
where they remained for a short time. When they emerged from the building, the defendant grabbed Hicks, turned him around
and struck him in the chest. Hicks fell to the sidewalk, a fatal stab wound through his heart, and the defendant was seen
to bend down and take some change from his victim's pocket. When the police arrived, they found Hicks' body on the sidewalk,
one pants pocket turned inside out.
