Description

Appellants Willie Powell and Richard Singleton were indicted with two co-defendants for the offenses of aggravated assault, kidnapping with bodily injury and robbery by force. The two co-defendants entered guilty pleas and testified against appellants, who were tried together and convicted of kidnapping with bodily injury and robbery by force. Following the denial of their motions for new trial, appellants appeal from the judgments of conviction and sentences entered on the jury verdict. The victim, a biscuit maker for a local Arby's restaurant, testified that she arrived for work at approximately 4:30 a.m., and as she unlocked the door, two men grabbed her and dragged her inside the restaurant. The victim was unable to see her attackers' faces but saw that one of the men was wearing camouflage pants and a white shirt and the other was wearing a red shirt and a white hat. The victim testified that the man in the camouflage pants repeatedly hit her in the face while dragging her toward the back of the restaurant. The men left the victim on the floor, and the man in the camouflage pants went to the safe and took the cash drawer. Both men then exited through the back door, and the victim called the police.
