When you are faced with a charge as serious as robbery, it is essential to have an understanding of the legal ramifications that ensue. Under Missouri law, the crime of robbery involves taking another’s property by using force or the threat of force.

Understanding the intricate web that encompasses ‘Robbery’ in Missouri can be overwhelming. It starts with unraveling the numerous associated crimes, delicately intertwined, that potentiate the resultant consequences.

Penalties for Robbery

At our law firm, we understand that facing a robbery charge can be an extremely stressful situation. Missouri law classifies robbery under two categories:

• Robbery in the second degree
• Robbery in the first degree.

Robbery in the second degree is the act of forcibly stealing someone else’s property. The punishment for this class B felony carries a possible sentence of five to fifteen years. Robbery in the first degree is described as forcibly stealing and causing serious physical injury to any individual, or being armed with a dangerous instrument or displaying or threatening the use of what appears to be a deadly weapon or instrument. This act is a class A felony and holds the possibility of a ten to thirty-year prison sentence or even life imprisonment.

Certain factors could heighten these penalties, such as the use of a firearm, committing the act with another individual, or causing significant bodily harm.
