What You Need to Know
There must be all the elements of robbery present such as the intentional taking of property from another person by force or intimidation, with the addition of weapon use, to constitute an armed robbery. Armed robbery is a felony and the sentence is usually a term in state or federal prison.
Sentencing by a judge in a court of law would be determined by the circumstances of the crime, prior criminal record and the degree of injury to a victim. The goal of a criminal defense attorney is to have criminal charges minimized or dropped altogether.
By concentrating on the areas surrounding the apprehension, search, arrest, and statements or confessions a criminal defense attorney builds a defense case. Examining the issues of the crime is vital. A prosecutor presents a case on behalf of the government or state against a defendant and must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the crime of armed robbery was actually committed. A defense attorney can challenge all of the evidence.
Many times a theft crimes defense attorney can accomplish lowered penalties to include shortened jail sentence, fines, restitution, community service, and counseling.
