Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York

Re: robbery

Your case sounds very interesting....depending on the facts and the nature of the identification, you might have a very good case. The fact that the judge released you at arraignment without any bail is a good sign.

There are several robbery statutes and three degrees of robbery in New York State. Some of the charges are very serious and carry mandatory jail time. Others are less serious and provide for probation.

I would need more information to give you a precise answer.

Re: robbery

The simple answer is yes. The amount of time you can receive will vary depending on the charge. However, a charge of robbery is very serious and can result in significant prison time even for a first arrest. You need to make sure you have a competent criminal defense attorney to make sure your rights are protected. Please feel free to contact my office if we can be of any assistance.
