Greensboro Criminal Defense Lawyer: Explains Robbery

Robbery with a dangerous weapon is Class D felony, which is punishable (in the worst possible circumstances) with an active sentence in prison of 160-204 months.

In order for the state to prove that Robbery with a Dangerous Weapon has occurred, the state must show that the Defendant:

• Possession, use or threatened use of a dangerous weapon
• Life of the alleged victim is endangered or threatened
• Takes or attempts to take property from that, or another associated person
• Or any person who aids and/or abets any such commission of a crime.

If the state proves these elements, then they have proven the crime of Robbery with a Dangerous Weapon.
