It depends on many factors, the state, county, dollar value, judge, DA, priors etc.Added: EIGHT counts of ARMED ROBBERY! That amounts to eight felony charges for committing crimes of violence while armed. Taking into account the first answer, you are looking at some SERIOUS prison time.
Robbery is considered a felony in almost all states and a "violent crime" because it involves intimidation, force or causing a victim to fear for his or her life or physical well-being. Armed robbery involves the use of a weapon such as robbery at gun-point or knife-point Robbery in the first degree is when it occurs: · In a vehicle (such as bus, taxi, train, home) · While someone is using an automated teller machine (ATM) or near such an ATM machine All other types of robbery other than these two are said to be "second-degree robbery
It will make no difference whether it was a convenience store or ANY other kind of store - and it will make no difference if he was "high" on drugs, altho his attorney can try using that as an 'extenuating' circumstance.Mass statute on Armed Robbery follows:Armed robbery; punishment.Section 17. Whoever, being armed with a dangerous weapon, assaults another and robs, steals or takes from his person money or other property which may be the subject of larceny shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for life or for any term of years; provided, however, that any person who commits any offence described herein while masked or disguised or while having his features artificially distorted shall, for the first offence be sentenced to imprisonment for not less than five years and for any subsequent offence for not less than ten years. Whoever commits any offense described herein while armed with a firearm, shotgun, rifle, machine gun or assault weapon shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for not less than five years. Any person who commits a subsequent offense while armed with a firearm, shotgun, rifle, machine gun or assault weapon shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for not less than 15 years.See also, below link:
The nature of the offense is in regard to whether it was a property crime, domestic violence crime, motor vehicle violation, drunk driving offense, drug related crime, sexual assault, white collar crime and if it was violent or weapons were involved during the criminal act. Obviously when someone is physically harmed during a crime (whether the injury was intentional or not), the nature of the crime is more severe than say a property crime where no one was physically injured. For example, consider that 4 criminals go in to rob a bank. Only 1 of them has a gun and the other 3 were unaware that their accomplice was armed. If anyone is harmed or killed during the robbery, the nature of the offense for all 4 becomes a violent crime (from armed robbery to first degree murder) regardless of whether they intended any harm or were armed themselves.
a person is guilty of first degree robbery if during the robbery or while immediately fleeing the robbery he/she does any of the following: 1. is armed with a deadly weapon 2.displays anythingthat seems to be a firearm or other deadly weapon 3. causes bodily injury
