Robbery is a unique crime, apart from burglary or theft, because it involves the presence of a victim during the actual act of stealing and some level of or threat of force. What separates armed robbery from many other theft crimes is the use of force, violence, assault or placing a person in fear while depriving them of their property.
If a firearm is used, 10-20-Life may be applicable. If you and your friend rob someone and your friend are armed, then you could also be charged with armed robbery under the principal theory.
Under 10-20-Life, there is no chance of probation and no gain time. It is day-for-day without a chance for parole. Ten years for being armed, 20 years for firing the gun, and 25 to Life if someone is injured.
The sentence an individual receives depends on many factors including prior criminal history, what kind of weapon was used if there is a history of violent offenses, how much the stolen property was worth and whether or not the victim was injured.
If an armed robbery is committed by an individual while they have possession of a firearm or a deadly weapon then the minimum prison sentence will be 10 years.
If a firearm is discharged there is a mandatory minimum 20-year prison sentence. If someone is injured or killed during the course of armed robbery the prison sentence is a minimum of 25 years and a maximum of a life sentence.
Being charged with armed robbery will undoubtedly have a lasting effect on an individual if they are found guilty.
