About Robbery, Armed Robbery and Home-Invasion Robbery
There are different forms of robbery, and a defendant may face different specific charges and penalties depending on the form. Following are the general types of robbery in Florida, along with the basic penalties that may be enforced upon a conviction (actual penalties may vary depending on the unique case):
- Robbery (no weapon) - second degree felony, punishable by up to 15 years in prison
- Robbery (weapon) - first degree felony, punishable by up to 30 years in prison
- Robbery (firearm or other deadly weapon) - first degree felony, punishable by up to life in prison
- Home-invasion robbery - first degree felony, punishable by 30 years to life in prison depending on whether no weapon, a weapon or a firearm/deadly weapon was used.
To be charged with armed robbery, the defendant need not have actually used the weapon. "Carrying" a weapon in the commission of a robbery is enough to result in armed robbery charges and therefore greatly increased penalties.
