Re: criminal

hard to answer your question without more facts. however, if the first robbery was committed with a fire arm and he was convicted of robbery as a felony of the first degree, this new case could be a second strike under pa law, making it a 10-20 year mandatory case.

none of this is certain though without a much better description of the first and second cases.

email me more information and I will help you. [email protected]
