Under New Jersey law, Armed Robbery (N.J.S.A. 2C:15-1) is understood to be a crime of theft with the element of a threat or act of violence.
When the crime is committed with a deadly weapon, or the threat of a deadly weapon, it rises to a First Degree offense, commonly called Armed Robbery, which can lead to a prison sentence of up to 20 years.
Because of New Jersey’s No Early Release Act (NERA), you’ll be required to serve 85{74bbbd36a4df8b83bd1805c8c4f34bcc3063e84848f392c2fd8bb03fcdaa883e} of your sentence before being eligible for parole, and the length of your parole may be as long as five years.
Armed Robbery is an extremely serious criminal charge, and you need to take immediate actions to protect yourself.
With an experienced New Jersey criminal defense attorney, you stand a much better chance of avoiding the worst armed robbery penalties under the law, or beating the charge entirely.
