"Any armed robbery is a felony." by a previous contributor.....
Added note:
Strong arm robbery is a violent threat or use of physical violence to purport a robbery without use of a weapon or object.
For that reason, it may or may not be considered a felony charge dependent on circumstantial or eye witness testimony. or evidence. The "threat" of a strong arm robbery in most cases is not considered a felony. It is lesser and considered intimidation in some points, harassment in others, or if a verbal threat is made of bodily harm with a weapon, and said weapon is within the immediate access, it is considered terroristic threat in some states.
So that advice is partially or mostly incorrect , as "strong arm robbery" is not ARMED robbery.
it is by far a felony unless dropped to theft by unlawful taking or something like that depends on the state
A felony is not a misdemeanor, and a misdemeanor is not a felony.
The decision on whether a crime is a felony or a misdemeanor is a legislative decision and the court cannot change that directly. However most felony crimes have 'lesser included offenses' that are misdemeanors. For example, a burglary could be charged as a criminal trespass, a felony assault as a misdemeanor assault, or a robbery as a simple theft. This is not usually done by a Judge or a court, but can easily be done by a prosecutor or jury.
"5-12-102. Robbery.(a) A person commits robbery if, with the purpose of committing a felony or misdemeanor theft or resisting apprehension immediately after committing a felony or misdemeanor theft, the person employs or threatens to immediately employ physical force upon another person.(b) Robbery is a Class B felony."
No, a High Court Misdemeanor is not a Felony. a Misdemeanor is a Misdemeanor and Felony is a higher different judgement.
Robbery is a felony - simple assault is a misdemeanor. If both charges arose from the same incident the prosecutor MAY combine the charges and hit you with the felony offense and 'enhance' it to account for the lesser offense. You are probably looking at a felony charge. Since no information is given about the offense, or your a past criminal record, it is impossible to estimate.
The criminal offense of robbery is a felony everywhere.
This is known as a downfiling of charges from a felony to a misdemeanor, and the case transferred to its respective court.
misdemeanor
Felony.
Simple possession is a misdemeanor. Posesseion With the Intent to Distribute is a felony. Oftentimes it is the amount of contraband you were found with that decides the appropriate charge.
No. Felony and misdemeanor are two classifications of crimes. Misdemeanors are lesser crimes punishable by no more than 12 months in jail or simply by a fine. Felonies are major crimes such as armed robbery and murder and involve prison terms of more than one year.
