§ 2121. Force or fear must be employed. To constitute robbery, the force or fear must be employed either to obtain or retain possession of the property or to prevent or overcome resistance to the taking. If employed merely as a means of escape it does not constitute robbery.
§ 2122. Degree of force immaterial. When force is employed in either of the ways specified in the last section, the degree of force employed is immaterial.
§ 2123. Taking property secretly not robbery. The taking of property from the person of another is robbery, when it appears that although the taking was fully completed without his knowledge, such knowledge was prevented by the use of force or fear.
