Bank Robbery Attorney

Those convicted of robbery can receive a range of punishments including fines and prison time. The punishment is dependent on the degree of bank robbery and if there were weapons or injuries involved. A basic robbery conviction can receive anywhere from one to 20 years of prison time.

Federal law divides the offense of bank robbery into five phases, making each step a separate crime. They are:

• Entering the financial institution with the intent to commit a crime
• Taking/carrying away property (escape), with anyone assisting being a principle to the crime
• Concealing/possessing/disposing of the property, with anyone assisting being a principle to the crime
• Penalties are more severe if a weapon or device was used or anyone was assaulted
• If a killing or kidnapping occurs during the commission of the crime, the death penalty can be given
