What is Robbery?

Robbery is a serious criminal offense involving taking another person's property through force, threats, or intimidation. In the state of Washington, robbery is defined under Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 9A.56.190.

To be charged with robbery, the prosecution must prove the following elements:

  • The unlawful taking or attempted taking of someone else's property.
  • The property was taken from the immediate presence of the victim.
  • The taking was against the victim's will.
  • The use or threat of force, violence, or fear was used to facilitate the taking.
  • The defendant had the intention to permanently deprive the victim of their property.
  • Robbery charges can be further classified into first-degree and second-degree robbery, each carrying distinct penalties.

What are the Penalties for Robbery in Washington?

  • First-Degree Robbery: If convicted of first-degree robbery, a Class A felony, you may face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment and fines of up to $50,000. This particularly severe charge is typically reserved for cases involving armed robbery or where the victim sustains serious injuries.
  • Second-Degree Robbery: Second-degree robbery, a Class B felony, holds a possible sentence of up to 10 years in prison and fines of up to $20,000. This charge is applied to cases where force or threats were used, but no deadly weapon was involved or where the victim did not suffer substantial bodily harm.

Being convicted of robbery can profoundly impact your life, including the loss of freedom, damage to your reputation, and long-term legal consequences. It is essential to seek immediate legal representation if you face robbery charges in Kitsap County.

Defenses Against Robbery Charges

Some common defenses against robbery charges may include:

  • Mistaken Identity: If there is doubt about the accuracy of the victim's identification, we can challenge the evidence and seek to establish that you were not the person responsible for the crime.
  • Lack of Intent: Robbery charges require the intention to permanently rob the victim of their property. If we can demonstrate that you did not have the requisite intent, your charges may be reduced or dismissed.
  • False Allegations: In some cases, individuals are falsely accused of robbery due to personal vendettas or misunderstandings. We will thoroughly investigate your case's circumstances to uncover any evidence of false allegations.
  • Lack of Force or Threat: If it can be proven that you did not use force or threats to take the property, your charges may be reduced or dismissed.
  • Violation of Rights: We will review every aspect of your arrest and the investigation to ensure that your rights were not violated. Any violations could lead to the exclusion of evidence or a dismissal of charges.

    Amazing lawyers, they helped me out every step of the way. Are extremely professional, and patient, very grateful they took on my case.

They even let me set up a payment plan, which they didn’t have to do. I highly recommend.
