2. ““The defendant’s conviction for robbery in the first degree is due to be reversed on authority of Harris v. State, 451 So .2d 406, 410-411 (Ala.Cr.App.1984). Here, as in that case, ‘defendant’s conduct did not constitute robbery for the reason that he neither used nor threatened any force against the alleged victim “with intent to compel acquiescence to the taking of or escaping with the property” that he had stolen or had attempted to steal.’ Harris, supra. The annotation at 93 A.L.R.3d 643 (1979) reveals that there is extremely little support for the proposition that the use of force merely to effect an escape, after the property taken has been abandoned, supplies the element of force necessary to make the taking a robbery.” (Citation omitted.) Id. at 680 .”
