Armed Robbery is a very serious charge in which a conviction almost always results in substantial time in prison. Many times though, especially in Conyers, Rockdale County, Covington, Newton County, people are charged with this crime when a less severe crime is more appropriate or when they were not even a party to a crime.
Armed Robbery is considered a violent crime which, if convicted, can effect what security-level prison you are sent to. The lower the security level, the more privileges you are afforded and the less likely you are to become a victim of violent crime while incarcerated. Ultimately, the difference in determining a violent crime and a non-violent crime can make the difference of whether you serve one-third of your sentence (typical for non-violent crimes) or two-thirds of your sentence (typical for violent crimes) before being released to parole.
This is a very serious matter and requires a highly skilled attorney who has experience in handling such cases. In a case such as this severe consequences can follow a conviction and it is important that you have a lawyer who is able to take the time necessary to listen carefully to the particular circumstances of your case and represent you in the best possible light before the Court in Conyers, Rockdale County, Covington, and Newton County.
