Charged with Robbery in Massachusetts? Seek Expert Legal Representation Immediately!

If you’re facing robbery charges in Massachusetts, whether armed or unarmed, it is crucial to consult with a criminal defense attorney who specializes in such cases. The complexities of robbery cases require expert legal counsel to navigate the serious consequences you may face.

Understanding Robbery Charges

Unarmed Robbery: Unarmed robbery involves using force to instill fear in the victim and then committing larceny—essentially, stealing from the victim. Convictions for unarmed robbery can result in lengthy prison sentences, potentially extending to life imprisonment.

Armed Robbery: Armed robbery occurs when a dangerous weapon is used during the robbery. This charge carries severe penalties, including the possibility of life imprisonment. Notably, if the perpetrator is wearing a mask, the minimum sentence for a first offense is 5 years, and for subsequent offenses, it increases to 10 years.

Proving Armed Robbery

To convict someone of armed robbery, the prosecution must prove the following beyond a reasonable doubt:

1. Armed with a Dangerous Weapon: The defendant was in possession of a dangerous weapon.
2. Fear or Harm: The defendant put the victim in fear or caused harm through the use of force.
3. Intent to Steal: The defendant intended to steal property from the victim.
4. Control of Property: The defendant actually took control of the victim’s property.
