First Degree Robbery (N.J.S.A. 2C:15-1) is one of the most significant charges a person can face in New Jersey.
Because of the assertion that a deadly weapon was used in the commission of a Robbery – which is already a serious Second Degree Crime.
The state takes an extremely punitive view of the First Degree version of the crime, often referred to as Armed Robbery.
Penalties if convicted include a prison sentence of up to 20 years, with a requirement that you serve 85{74bbbd36a4df8b83bd1805c8c4f34bcc3063e84848f392c2fd8bb03fcdaa883e} of your sentence before you’ll be eligible for parole.
Upon release, you’ll have to live with a violent felony conviction on your record, and all the limitations that poses.
