Robberies can happen anywhere from subway trains, on the streets, and even inside your own apartments. A competent source recalls a robbery case which happened on May 4, 1984 at around 10pm. It involved Lyman Green along with Harold Vizian who came into the apartment of John Matlock in Long Island. Vizian was a former boarder of Matlock and as they entered, he offered him immediately an item to sell at $35. But after inspecting the vise, the victim said that he was not interested to buy it even if the price was lessened.

According to further research made by another expert, Matlock told the two to leave already but they refused and instead assaulted him as they demand for money. Vizian was the one who closed the door and just watched Green and Matlock argue. This was the point when Green threatened Matlock with a pen knife which he got from the victim’s own pants. As they were struggling, Green ripped off Matlock’s pockets to get his wallet and then eventually ran out of the place. Vizian already left the place by this time.

Not all robbery cases are straightforwardly easy to judge. It can be as intricate as any other sensitive cases such as that of the sex crimes according to one expert who has been handling severe cases of robbery since the seventies. A good example of this to let you understand it all the more is the case of Larry Fay. It was considered to be a weak case with the defendant insisting that the gun found in their car was actually planted by the police and this then would cancel the conviction of robbery placed upon them.

Such convinced the trial court to admit what the accused was fighting for and investigate more on what made the police stop them. According to a source, the first one that was called to serve as first witness was Office Sheehan. He said that they were called through police radio about a robbery that happened at around 4:30am on December 3, 1978. There was not any picture of the robbers given considering that the alleged crime has just transpired and that everyone is after the profile of two people who ran away on a car after committing the crime.
