Defending Individuals' Rights Since 1955
If you have been charged with robbery (NJSA 2c:15-1), you will need the Somerset County criminal attorneys at Aiello, Harris, Abate, Law Group PC to defend you. We have three former prosecutors who have appeared in the Newark Star-Ledger, Bergen Record, Courier News, ABC, NBC, CBS, and NJN, just to name a few.
First, the definition of robbery in Somerset County is that that a person is guilty of robbery if, in the course of committing a theft, he:
(1) Inflicts bodily injury or uses force upon another; or
(2) Threatens another with or purposely puts him in fear of immediate bodily injury; or
(3) Commits or threatens immediately to commit any crime of the first or second degree.
Case Study
The attorneys of the Aiello, Harris, Abate, Law Group PC were able to convince the Hunterdon County Prosecutor’s Office to dismiss the third-degree crime (felony) and remand the case to the Municipal Court with a lower charge as a disorderly person’s defense (misdemeanor).
Robbery is a crime of the second degree, except that it is a crime of the first degree if in the course of committing the theft, the actor attempts to kill anyone, purposely inflicts or attempts to inflict serious bodily injury, is armed with, or uses or threatens the immediate use of a deadly weapon. To get a robbery conviction in New Jersey, the prosecution must prove the elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Robbery requires the accused to act intentionally.
The accused must have committed or attempted to commit theft by taking or trying to take something of value from the victim. The accused must have used force or threatened to use force during the robbery or his immediate flight from the scene after the theft.
(1) Inflicts bodily injury or uses force upon another; or
(2) Threatens another with or purposely puts him in fear of immediate bodily injury; or
(3) Commits or threatens immediately to commit any crime of the first or second degree. And an act shall be deemed to be included in the phrase “In the course of committing a theft” If it occurs in an attempt to commit theft or in immediate flight after the attempt or commission.
