Robbery is a felony offense in Minnesota. If convicted, a defendant may face up to ten, or even 20, years in prison, along with a fine of up to $20,000 or $35,000. The severity of sentencing will vary depending on whether a weapon was used in the commission of the crime, whether anyone was injured and the defendant’s past criminal history, if any. The offense may be classified as simple robbery, first degree aggravated robbery and second degree robbery.
By definition, robbery is the taking of property from the immediate possession or in the presence of another person by way of force, violence or injury. Robbery is a violent theft crime. Carjacking is another form of robbery that involves the forcible theft of a motor vehicle.
Due to the nature of this offense, and the fact that a weapon may be involved, the penalties for robbery are often steep. It is important to ensure your rights are well-protected in the face of criminal charges of this kind. A lawyer experienced in handling these cases, who has the resources to fully investigate the matter, can begin building an aggressive defense strategy early in the process.
