Robbery involves taking property from another person using force, intimidation, or threats, whereas theft (also known as larceny) involves taking someone’s property without their permission, but without violence or threats. Robbery typically carries more severe penalties due to the use of force.
Penalties for robbery can include significant prison time, especially if weapons or violence were involved. Sentences often range from 5 to 25 years, depending on the severity of the crime, the presence of any prior criminal history, and the state’s sentencing guidelines.
Yes, robbery and theft charges can sometimes be reduced or dismissed depending on the circumstances of the case. A skilled attorney can negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges to a lesser offense or even dismiss the case if the evidence is weak or improperly obtained.
Common defenses include lack of intent, mistaken identity, alibi, duress, or challenging the legality of search and seizure. Your attorney will examine the specifics of your case to determine the best defense strategy.
In some cases, particularly for first-time offenders or minor theft charges, alternatives to jail time such as probation, community service, or diversion programs may be available. Your attorney can negotiate for these options based on your case’s circumstances.
