Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

My son was convicted of assault, and robbery with a gang enhancement. Him and a his friends were at a gas station and a guy (who also isn't a gang member) approaches his car when they were about to pull off and spit in his brothers face. His friends got out and jumped the guy and my son got out after and took his wallet, my son did not hit him. They are not registered gang members. Was my son rightfully convicted???

I would say you need to talk to an appellate attorney. One on LawGuru is Edward Hoffman (310) 442-3600. However no one can give you an answer with this information ... an appellate specialist would need more info and documents such as trial transcripts. Good luck!

You'll get the answer to that from the Appellate Court at the conclusion of an appeal you would have to file, The grounds for appeal are that the trial court allowed substantial errors of fact or law in the trial. If serious about hiring counsel for appeal, feel free to contact me.
