How much time will a minor do in jail for armed robbery in MA?

Answer 1

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.
