Plea to simple robbery?

Question

I was charged with ag robbery ( Which I did not commit) I was offered simple robbery as a plea bargain in colorado.because I had no knowledge of a weapon . I did not know any robbery was going to take place at all. Simple robbery is a lot better deal than robbery because there is not mandatory jail time and its not considered to be a violent crime. This is my first felony What are the chances I will see prison for this?? it's a f4

Answer 1

Robbery is a class 4 felony in Colorado - The minimum sentence for a class 4 felony in Colorado is 2 years prison time and a $2,000 dollar fine, the maxumum sentence you could get is 6 years prision time and a $500,000 dollar fine, and any other circumstances such as probation and community service..normally when you take a plea it goes with the minumum sentence.

edit: You will probably be offered to either do a sentence like: 2 years probation (instead of prision time) and if you mess up while on probation you will then be put in prision for the remainder of your time...

Good Luck

Answer 2

Take the deal. Depending on other factors, you'll probably be placed on supervised probation for a year or so which can become expensive with probation fees to pay to the county you were charged in. If you did not commit the crime, hire a capable attorney who specializes in criminal law and fight the charges against you. If you cannot afford a attorney, the state is required by federal law to provide one for you free of charge.

Answer 4

A fourth degree felony, obviously depending on where this occured, can be handled in a number of ways. I had a C Felony for fraud over $250 for writing a bad check. I was told that I would serve time and blah blah blah, but I plead to the felony in exhange for six months probation and the time served being extradited, which was 14 days. If you have an attorney with half a brain, you should be okay.
