Question description
Billy and Debbie were having trouble paying their rent and meeting their other monthly expenses. They were strapped for cash and needed to make money fast. One night after a few beers, they decided they would rob the local convenience store. Together, they came up with a list of items they needed to carry out the robbery. The list included guns, masks, the car to be used, and the date and approximate time for the crime.
On the day they planned to rob the bank, Billy and Debbie parked across the street from the convenience store, but before they exited the car, Billy saw a vehicle that he believed to be suspicious so he started driving out of the parking lot. As Debbie and he pulled out of the parking lot, he was surrounded by police and ordered out of the car.
The police searched the car and found two firearms, two masks, two false identifications and two small duffle bags. Unbeknownst to Billy, Debbie was a government informant who was wearing a wire.
