Understanding Robbery Charges in Massachusetts
Robbery in Massachusetts is governed by M.G.L. Chapter 265, Section 19, which involves the unlawful taking of property from another person through force, threat of force, or intimidation. Robbery charges may arise from actions such as:
🔹 Taking money or property directly from a person using force or threats
🔹 Committing theft in a manner that puts the victim in fear of bodily harm
🔹 Engaging in armed robbery, involving the use or display of a weapon
Key elements of the offense include:
🔸 Taking Property: The prosecution must prove property was taken from the victim's possession
🔸 Force or Intimidation: The act must involve force, threat of force, or intimidation
🔸 Intent: The defendant must have intended to steal the property
Our Boston criminal defense lawyers thoroughly analyze evidence to challenge the prosecution's case, exploring defenses like lack of intent, mistaken identity, or absence of force or threat.
