If the State alleges that you have committed an armed robbery, you are probably being charged with one of the following:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First Degree Robbery<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>First-degree robbery is considered a Class B felony and is the most serious robbery charge. This robbery charge includes committing a robbery, as well as doing one of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-list stk-block-icon-list stk-block stk-063c2dc\" data-block-id=\"063c2dc\"><style>.stk-063c2dc ul li,.stk-063c2dc ol li{font-weight:600 !important}.stk-063c2dc{margin-top:20px !important;column-count:1 !important}.stk-063c2dc li{padding-inline-start:10px !important}.stk-063c2dc ul li{list-style-image:url('data:image\/svg+xml;base64,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') !important}.stk-063c2dc li::marker{color:var(--paletteColor4,#142034) !important}<\/style><ul><li>Cause serious physical injury to any non-participant in the crime<\/li><li>Armed with a deadly weapon<\/li><li>Uses or threatens the use of a dangerous instrument<\/li><li>Displays or threatens to use a pistol or firearm.<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>If the State has alleged that you committed a robbery with one of the additional factors, then you will most likely be looking at a charge of robbery in the first degree. Here, the penalties include up to 20 years in prison and up to $15,000 in fines. If you are charged with first degree robbery, it is important you use your right to remain silent and contact us immediately.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Second Degree Robbery<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Second-degree robbery is considered a Class C felony, which would expose you to 10 years in jail, along with a maximum of a $10,000 fine. This robbery charge includes committing a robbery, as well as doing one of the following factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-icon-list stk-block-icon-list stk-block stk-44b2832\" data-block-id=\"44b2832\"><style>.stk-44b2832 ul li,.stk-44b2832 ol li{font-weight:600 !important}.stk-44b2832{margin-top:20px !important;column-count:1 !important}.stk-44b2832 li{padding-inline-start:10px !important}.stk-44b2832 ul li{list-style-image:url('data:image\/svg+xml;base64,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') !important}.stk-44b2832 li::marker{color:var(--paletteColor4,#142034) !important}<\/style><ul><li>The defendant was aided by another person actually present<\/li><li>In the course of the commission of the crime or immediate flight, they displayed or threatened the use of what they represented to be a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Third Degree Robbery<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Third-degree robbery is considered a Class D felony, which would expose you to 5 years in jail, and up to $5,000 in fines. This robbery charge is a bit different than the others: for the State to prove this charge, they would need to prove that the defendant was (1) committing a larceny, and (2) that they used physical force for the purpose of retaining the property.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fighting Armed Robbery Charges in Connecticut<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All robbery charges in Connecticut are considered felony offenses. As a result, if you are convicted of any robbery charge, you will likely go to jail. In Connecticut, all robbery charges are considered violent crimes, meaning those convicted must serve at least 85% of their jail sentence before they become eligible for parole release review.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working with an aggressive fighter of an attorney can help you increase the likelihood that you will avoid being convicted of robbery. Working with an attorney who will develop an effective legal defense strategy can help you reduce your charges, get your case dismissed, or obtain more favorable sentencing.
