(Lally was a current employee at the time the restaurant was robbed at gunpoint and Danise was a former employee.) Both men knew that the proceeds of the restaurant were kept in the office safe and only restaurant managers had the ability to open it. On the evening of March 17, 2009, Danise allegedly called Lally and asked him to verify the presence of any managers on duty.
