The person you would speak of would be classified as a second felony offender. As his prior conviction for Robbery and Assault was likely a violent felony offense, he would be a second felony offender with a prior violent felony which increases his sentence. The minimum he would face would 6 years, the maximum being 15. He would also have a release to parole supervision after his incarceration, which could go from 1.5 to 3 years. Hope that helps.
