Marietta Armed Robbery Defense Lawyer

Cobb County Georgia Theft & Robbery Arrest Attorney

Taking something you have no legal right to is a crime, but using a weapon or threatening to use one, magnifies the problems you face. A deadly weapon such as a knife or gun is a serious matter to police and the courts. Hold-ups, car-jacking, bank robbery and purse-snatching are cases that can be charged as armed robbery. Contact a Marietta armed robbery defense attorney.

Identification

An armed robber generally flees the scene, and police later identify a defendant via a witness viewing a photo array or lineup. These may be prejudicial means, if not done fairly. We may be able to attack the evidence and have it thrown out.

Even if a witness is allowed to identify the defendant, we know witnesses are often mistaken. Two people may look alike, the weather or lighting can call into question a witness' accuracy. There may even be a dishonest basis for the accusation. A witness may have been involved, or the actual perpetrator. It is not unheard of for a witness to testify as part of their own criminal plea deal.

Penalties

Aside from prosecution and possible prison time, armed robbery is a felony and conviction on a felony can hinder you for years to come. Your voting rights may be restricted, and you could have trouble renting an apartment or getting a job.
