Robbery

St. Louis, MO Robbery Defense Lawyer

A robbery charge should always be taken serious since the consequences of a conviction are so severe. Long term loss of freedom and a permanent criminal record are just a few of the many penalties that can result from a robbery charge in Missouri. Because of the violent nature of a robbery charge, prosecutors are extremely aggressive in their attempts to secure convictions in robbery cases. With your freedom on the line, it is imperative that you immediately speak with a qualified and skilled criminal defense attorney who can help fight these serious charges.

Under Missouri law, a robbery charge can either be classified as robbery in the first degree or robbery in the second degree. A person commits robbery in the second degree when he or she forcibly steals property from another. Robbery in the second degree is a Class B felony in Missouri. A person convicted of a Class B felony in Missouri faces a term of imprisonment of not less than 5 years and no more than 15 years. Robbery in the first degree is a Class A felony in Missouri, and carries with it a term of imprisonment that can range from 10 to 30 years. A person commits robbery in the first degree when he or she forcibly steals property from another and either causes serious physical injury to any person or possesses, uses, displays or threatens the use of a dangerous or deadly weapon.
