Understanding Robbery Charges in Arizona
What Is Robbery?
Under Arizona law (A.R.S. § 13-1902), robbery is defined as:
- The taking of property from another person
- Using force, threats, or intimidation to accomplish the act
Robbery is classified as a Class 4 felony, punishable by up to 3.75 years in prison for a first offense.
What Is Armed Robbery?
Armed robbery (A.R.S. § 13-1904) involves:
- Using or displaying a deadly weapon or firearm during the commission of a robbery
- Suggesting that you have a weapon, even if you don’t
Armed robbery is a Class 2 felony, carrying 7 to 21 years in prison for a first offense. Probation is not an option if a deadly weapon was used.
How We Defend Robbery Charges
At Garcia & Garcia Law Firm, we take an aggressive, strategic approach to robbery cases, focusing on challenging the prosecution’s evidence and protecting your rights. Common defense strategies include:
- Mistaken Identity: Many robbery cases rely on eyewitness testimony, which is often unreliable. We challenge any flawed identifications in your case.
- Lack of Intent: If there was no intent to permanently deprive the victim of their property, we work to get the charges dismissed or reduced.
- False Accusations: Robbery charges can stem from misunderstandings, mistaken reports, or wrongful accusations. We conduct a full investigation to uncover the truth.
- Illegal Search & Seizure: If law enforcement violated your constitutional rights, we fight to have illegally obtained evidence thrown out.
