Re: Armed Robbery and 1st Degree Assault
Whether or not he can get the first offenders act is completely up to the judge. I know that most judges around here would not give first offender probation for serious violent charges such as armed robbery.
It doesn't sound like a bad deal considering there is a 10 year minimum for armed robbery. So if the evidence is against him, it sounds like your brother's lawyer did pretty well.
