Robbery is taking something
by force. Using a knife or a gun to get someone to hand over
the money is robbery.
Robbery is a particularly serious crime. It is punished
by up to 20 years in jail.
Don’t give up hope.
Don’t give up hope if you have been accused of robbery.
Defending a robbery charge is often a question of
identification - did the victim really identify the person
who robbed him?
Science has shown that people focus on the weapon, not
the face of the robber. Often the events happen quickly.
Clothes are often not helpful in identification. Lighting is
often an issue. When the police show the victim pictures he
must be shown them one at a time, by a policeman who has
nothing to do with the investigation of this robbery.
The jury is persuaded by the certainty of the victim. But
victims have been wrong, even when they are sure.
You need an attorney who has been trained in eyewitness
identification. An attorney who has been doing criminal
defense for over 20 years. One who is Certified by the
Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Criminal Trial Attorney. An
expert in criminal law. One with a Masters in Laws in Trial
Advocacy. Mitch Ignatoff has that training and experience.
