Robbery

California Penal Code §211 defines robbery as “the felonious taking of personal property in the possession of another, from his person or immediate presence, and against his will, accomplished by means of force or fear.” Robbery is a felony and considered a violent crime under the “Three Strikes Laws” because it involves the use or threat of force against a person. The penalties for Robbery range from probation and jail to State Prison. California law increases the punishments for Robbery if the accused uses a weapon or gun.

If you are charged with Robbery, you must have an aggressive defense attorney because of the grave consequences. Contact the Law Offices of T. Edward Welbourn immediately.
