1. “We further agree that: Pursuant to the new statute, force or threat is considered to be contemporaneous with the taking if that force or threat of force is used to overcome a victim’s resistance to an attempted aspor-tation ... [W]here an offender gains possession of property without force and with intent to deprive the true owner of its use, but the victim gives instant and uninterrupted protest or pursuit in an effort to thwart a taking, and the offender then assaults the victim in order to complete a taking of the property and make good an escape, the offense is robbery. This construction of Section 812.-13, supra, we think, is precisely what the legislature intended.”
