A Conviction for Burglary or Robbery Can Change Your Life
An iPod is stolen at a bus stop. Most people would agree that this is a crime. Few people understand just how serious that crime can be. The accused person may be charged with robbery. Robbery is a "strike crime," meaning that if you have three convictions in your lifetime, you face life in prison. Three strikes and you're out.
A young person is accused of entering a neighbor's house and stealing a skateboard. A momentary lapse in judgment could earn him a residential burglary charge. A group of students think it might be fun to break into their school over the weekend or summer break. If they are accused of taking anything in the process, they may all face charges for felony burglary. If convicted, they will carry a felony record with them for the rest of their lives. The doors to many future opportunities will be closed.
These are just a few examples of everyday occurrences that can lead to the serious criminal charges of burglary and robbery.
