Re: Armed Robbery

The State must prove that you had an intent to deprive the owner of property of ownership. Use of a weapon may be sufficient to sustain a guilty verdict.

Mandatory sentencing applies for more than one conviction and first time offenses subject to imprisonment to 15 years.

You should contact an attorney.
