Understanding Robbery Charges
Robbery is a crime that combines theft with the use of force or threat of force. It involves taking property from another person against their will, using violence or the fear of violence. Different jurisdictions may have varying definitions and elements that constitute robbery, so it is essential to consult with a qualified criminal defense attorney to understand the specific laws in your area.
Penalties for robbery convictions can be severe and may vary depending on factors such as the presence of weapons, injuries to the victim, or prior criminal record.

Defenses Against Robbery Charges
When facing robbery charges, mounting a strong defense is crucial. John P. Bennett, Attorney at Law, will explore all possible defenses and strategies tailored to your case. Some common defenses against robbery charges include:
1. Lack of Intent:
If it can be shown that you did not have the intent to commit robbery, it can weaken the prosecution's case against you. Intent is a crucial element that the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt.
2. Mistaken Identity:
In some cases, mistaken identity can play a significant role. If there are doubts about the accuracy of the identification by witnesses or surveillance footage, it can introduce reasonable doubt about your involvement in the alleged robbery.
3. Coerced Confession:
If your confession was obtained through coercion or in violation of your Miranda rights, it may be possible to have the confession suppressed as evidence, weakening the prosecution's case against you.
4. Self-Defense:
If you can establish that you acted in self-defense or to protect others from harm, it can be a valid defense against robbery charges. The use of force must be reasonable and proportionate to the threat faced.
