How much jail time are we looking at ?

Question

I have a co-worker who was charged with armed robbery (I believe a gun) and grand theft larceny. This is a first offense and she has a clean record other than what just happened.

Stats

Non white (Hispanic)

Women age early 30's

First offense

Are we going to see her back anytime soon ?

Answer 1

IF SHE TAKES A DEAL FOR 5-10 YEARS (and thats a good deal) SHE'LL BE OUT IN 4

41/2 IF SHES GOOD

Answer 2

armed robbery? i doubt it

Answer 3

Depends on the judge. It was armed robbery, also, so it's more serious than just robbery.

Answer 4

She should definately get prison. Why you would want her back working at your company is beyond me.

Answer 5

armed robbery can get you 10 to 20 even on 1st offense. The very minimum is 5 years so it will not be less than 5 but after that she may have a chance for parole. so i would say 5 to 10 if lucky

California Penal Code for Robbery Punishment:

213.  (a) Robbery is punishable as follows:

   (1) Robbery of the first degree  is punishable as follows:

   (A) If the defendant, voluntarily acting in concert with two or

more other persons, commits the robbery within an inhabited dwelling

house, a vessel as defined in Section 21 of the Harbors and

Navigation Code, which is inhabited and designed for habitation, an

inhabited floating home as defined in subdivision (d) of Section

18075.55 of the Health and Safety Code, a trailer coach as defined in

the Vehicle Code, which is inhabited, or the inhabited portion of

any other building, by imprisonment in the state prison for three,

six, or nine years.

THIS ONE BELOW:

   (B) In all cases other than that specified in subparagraph (A), by

imprisonment in the state prison for three, four, or six years.

   (2) Robbery of the second degree is punishable by imprisonment in

the state prison for two, three, or five years.

   (b) Notwithstanding Section 664, attempted robbery in violation of

paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) is punishable by imprisonment in

the state prison.

Here it is for the Grand Theft:

489.  Grand theft is punishable as follows:

   (a) When the grand theft involves the theft of a firearm, by

imprisonment in the state prison for 16 months, 2, or 3 years.

   (b) In all other cases, by imprisonment in a county jail not

exceeding one year or in the state prison.

I believe there is an additional 2 year enhancement for using a handgun during the robbery.
