The accused was charged with multiple offences, including armed robbery, following the robbery of a convenience store.
The store owner and a bystander chased the two robbers to a subway station, where police arrested the accused and a co-accused in possession of the stolen goods and a weapon.
The accused denied involvement, claiming they found the stolen items abandoned by the real robbers.
The court rejected the accused's testimony as fabricated, admitted the co-accused's videotaped KGB statement, and found the accused guilty based on the continuous chain of observation, physical evidence, and consciousness of guilt.
