What Defines Robbery?
Under Common Law, robbery is defined with the same elements as larceny but coupled with assault and battery; therefore, the taking of an individual’s property must be coupled with force or the threat of imminent harm. Robbery is a serious Felony, which carries the threat of imprisonment if a person is found guilty. Usually when an individual is charged with Robbery, additional charges may be added when the crime is coupled with the use of a firearm, weapon, or someone is seriously injured. If you or someone you love is charged with Robbery, they require extensive legal assistance. Contact the Law Offices of David Sheehan and speak with a Criminal Lawyer today.
