R. v. Moreira, 2023 ONCA 807
[72] Moreover, the trial judge was correct to dismiss Moreira’s claim that he was not guilty of attempted robbery because (i) the victim did not have his wallet, and (ii) that in applying force to Conery, Moreira lacked the requisite mens rea because he did not intend violence. Neither argument is a defence to robbery under s. 343(c) of the Criminal Code. Robbery under s. 343(c) does not require a complete theft: Manning et al., at § 22.70. Furthermore, the mens rea for robbery under s. 343(c) is specified as an intent to steal, not an intent to commit violence: Criminal Code, s. 343(c).
