J. Albrecht affirms the trial court’s conviction of the defendant sentenced to 25 years in prison for the violent carjacking of a woman with two kids at a Shell gas station, dismissing defendant’s challenge that there was insufficient evidence to support the aggravating that there was a 15-year-old passenger in the blue Nissan at the time of the offense. Any rational trier of fact could have found that the essential elements of the offense were proven beyond a reasonable doubt. While it is true that the evidence reflects no passengers were inside the vehicle by the time defendant sped off, this is not the determinative time frame for when the offense commenced.
