How Does Georgia Define Robbery?

Basic robbery charges are more serious than the average theft crime because they are done in the presence of the proper owner.

The prosecution will attempt to prove you robbed someone else by means of:

• Using force
• Using intimidation, threats, or coercion
• Suddenly grabbing the property in question

A robbery conviction can result in at least one year in prison, and if the victim was older than 65, you could serve five years or more. If a weapon was involved in the robbery, the penalty can increase to 10 to 20 years in prison.
