Robbery: A Felony Offense

There are two classes of burglary, robbery and theft charges. If the offense is committed without the use of weapons, or threats of violence, the offense is a 2nd degree Class B felony. If there is a weapon involved, or threats of violence, the offense will be filed as a 1st degree Class A felony with far more severe penalties. For example, a 1st degree Class A felony conviction carries a 10 - 30 year jail sentence. A 2nd degree Class B felony carries a 5 - 15 year jail sentence.

A burglary charge could involve a trespassing case that could be successful in defending against a criminal accusation of burglary. The fact of being on premises illegally is not burglary. It requires the theft of property from the premises. The skilled attorneys at Sumner Law Group, LLC are ready to fight for your freedom.
