• Formal Probation
• High Fines and Court Fees
• Stay Away Orders

In order to convict a person of Robbery, the government must show

1. The defendant took property that was not their own
2. The property was taken from another person’s possession and immediate presence
3. The property was taken against that person’s will
4. The defendant used force or fear to take the property or to prevent the person from resisting
5. When the defendant used force or fear to take the property he or she intended to deprive the owner of it permanently.

A person need not actually hold or touch something to possess it.

Under California Law, Fear means fear of injury to one’s person or property or immediate injury to someone else present during the incident or that person’s property.

To constitute a taking, the property need only be moved a small distance.

California Criminal Law recognizes various defenses to Robbery Charges that if properly prepared and presented will acquit the defendant of Criminal Robbery. Whether a defense is applicable depends on the facts of each case.  Below are some of the most relevant defenses:

• Defendant acted under Duress or Necessity
• Defendant was Legally Unconscious While Acting
• Defendant has an Alibi
• Defendant Owned the Property
• The Victim was not Immediately Present
• Property was taken without using Force or Fear
• Defendant did not have the requisite intent to permanently deprive the true owner
