Aggravated robbery is a criminal charge that accuses you of both stealing and using force or the threat of force to do so.

Understanding the Charges
There are many different crimes that usually or always involve the taking of someone's money or property, including theft, fraud, embezzlement and burglary. What sets the criminal charge of robbery apart is using the threat of force or bodily injury to take control of someone's property without their permission.
Aggravated robbery — a felony charge with more serious penalties than regular robbery — is a robbery in which some aggravating circumstance was involved. This could be the use or display of a deadly weapon. It could also be the threat or carrying out of "serious" bodily harm, similarly to aggravated assault.
The combination of theft and violence (or the threat of violence) makes aggravated robbery a serious crime, but also one for which the prosecution must jump through several hoops to prove.

Examining Identification IssuesFrequently, when people are robbed, they have a high level of anxiety and may later have trouble identifying the person who robbed them. They may mistakenly identify someone who was not actually the robber, or they may be too unsure to identify anyone at all. We have experience sorting out identification issues and making sure these issues are addressed in a way that preserves the presumption of innocence on the part of our clients. |
