What is Robbery with a Deadly Weapon?

Robbery with a Deadly Weapon occurs when a person takes money or other property from someone else and uses violence or threats with a deadly weapon while robbing someone. 

Any weapon is considered deadly when it is used to threaten another individual and it is likely to create a high level of bodily harm or death. As a Fort Lauderdale attorney can further explain, even a weapon that is normally not considered deadly, could be considered deadly depending on how the weapon is used during the robbery. 

To be charged with the crime of Robbery with a Deadly Weapon, one does not even necessarily need to use the weapon – and they will be charged for simply having it  – even if the weapon was under their belt or even their purse or backpack.

CONSEQUENCES OF ROBBERY WITH A DEADLY WEAPON IN FORT LAUDERDALE

Crimes committed while the defendant is in possession or control of a weapon are punished more severely than crimes that do not involve a weapon – due to the potential harm that can be caused to another civilian. 

For example, a Robbery charge where the offender did not carry a deadly weapon, or other weapons is a second-degree felony. A second-degree felony carries consequences of up to 15 years in prison and fines of up to $10,000. 

A Robbery charge where the offender carried a deadly weapon or other weapons is a first-degree felony. A first-degree felony carries consequences of up to 30 years in prison and fines of up to $10,000. Because of what is at stake, it is vital to enlist the help of a knowledgeable South Florida attorney if you have been accused of robbery with a deadly weapon.

Robbery with a Deadly Weapon Defenses 

  • No Participation in the Crime:  If you were charged with the crime of Robbery with a Deadly Weapon and were simply present at the time of the crime but had no involvement, you cannot be lawfully charged with the crime. One of the factors that the State needs to prove for the conviction of Robbery of a Deadly Weapon to be valid is the intent to deprive or permanently remove property from another individual. If you were simply present while your friend decided to rob someone with a knife they had in their backpack, that does not make you the individual who committed the robbery and therefore cannot be charged with the crime. 
  • Mistaken Identity: The person who claims they were robbed with a deadly weapon could have been robbed by someone else and they could be uncertain and mistaken about the identity of the person who robbed them. Eyewitnesses of the alleged crime may have identified you as the wrong person. If you have been charged with the crime of Robbery with a Deadly Weapon and were not present during the occurrence of the alleged crime (if you have an alibi), the defense of mistaken identity can be used to fight the charges against you.

    In one of the most stressful times in my life, Rossen Law Firm was there for me. Leaving no stone unturned they provided patience and knowledge in every detail of my case. I’m very thankful and proud of this law firm family and especially of my lawyer, Scott Simmons for guiding, defending and helping me in every way possible. He and this law firm family come highly recommended from personal experience!!!

    I had an unfortunate situation with a family member that lead to my arrest and being charged with DV Battery. This was the first time I had ever been arrested so I was very nervous and afraid of what was going to happen to me. After talking with Adam I decided to retain him and let me tell you this was the BEST decision I could have ever made. Adam made me feel so comfortable and confident that everything will turn out the best in my favor. He is professional, ethical and supportive. He was always available too answer any questions or concerns.Not to mention, his team at the office is awesome they are so friendly and welcoming. Anytime I had a question when I called the office they were able to guide me in the rightdirection. They always were in contact with me with any information or updates regarding my case. Adams team is GREAT!Adam delivered, my case was DISMISSED. So if you want an attorney the is gonna fight for you and get the job done retain the BEST there is Adam Rossen!!!

    Adam Rossen and the team at Rossen Law took great care in handling my case. They are very professional, and get the job done. I was particular relieved to see just how much empathy they showed with me, and how effortless it was to be their client.I literally visited them twice. My initial consultation, and then to pickup the final docs. I have nothing but great things to say about these folks, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Guys.

    I had an amazing experience with The Rossen Law Firm. The staff were very professional. Attorney Susan Lawson went above and beyond working on my case. We were thoroughly prepared for trial. Mrs. Lawson reviewed hours of body and dash camera footage multiple times and aggressively performed depositions on witnesses and law enforcement.The final outcome for me was the state dropped my case, due to the great work Susan and the Rossen team performed. I didn’t even need to go to trial.This law firm does not play around. They pay attention to detail and they FIGHT FOR YOU!Thank you Adam, team, and a special thank you to Susan for your amazing work! I really appreciate you.

    My experience with Rossen Law Firm was excellent. From the consultation to the end.. My attorney Susan Lawson gave my son's case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. She was confident during all the court proceedings. My favorite part was when she said we are family, never once my son and I were treated other then that. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received through Rossen Law Firm.
