The STATE of Utah, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. Dale Leon JONAS, Defendant and Appellant.

Supreme Court of Utah.

September 25, 1986.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Frances M. Palacios, Salt Lake City, for defendant and appellant.

David L. Wilkinson, Atty. Gen., Dave B. Thompson, Asst. Atty. Gen., Salt Lake City, for plaintiff and respondent.


ZIMMERMAN, Justice:

Defendant Dale Leon Jonas appeals from a conviction of aggravated robbery, a first degree felony.
