1. “On the evening of January 28, 1993, Moore, Dewayne McCowan, and [Martze] Powell were at a party at Ziggy Robinson’s house. At some point, McCowan, Powell and Robinson decided to rob someone in order to get rent money. The evidence conflicts as to whether Moore was involved in the discussion to rob someone. Later in the evening, McCowan, Powell, Robinson and Moore left the party and drove around. Robinson decided he did not want to be involved and was taken home. At this point, Moore was driving the ear. After taking Robinson home, Moore drove to a Village Pantry. At the Village Pantry, McCowan and Powell saw a pizza delivery person getting into his car and told Moore to follow him. There is evidence that Moore complied because McCowan threatened him with a gun. Moore followed the delivery man to an apartment complex. When the delivery man returned to his car after delivering the pizza, McCowan and Powell, both pointing guns, approached him and took his money. The evidence conflicts as to whether Moore also approached the delivery man with a gun. After the delivery man turned over his money, Powell shot him. Moore, McCow-an and Powell then fled the scene.”
