Understanding Robbery Charges Under Massachusetts Law
Robbery is defined as the taking of property from another person through force, intimidation, or threats. Unlike theft or larceny, robbery involves direct confrontation with the alleged victim, which makes the charge significantly more severe.
Below are the main robbery-related offenses under Massachusetts law:
1. Armed Robbery (M.G.L. c. 265, ยง 17)
Involves the use of a weapon or dangerous object while taking property from another person.
Penalties may include:
-
Up to life in prison
-
Mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years for a first offense
2. Unarmed Robbery (M.G.L. c. 265, ยง 19)
Involves force or intimidation without the use of a weapon.
Penalties may include:
-
Up to life in prison
-
Possible probation for first-time offenders
3. Home Invasion (M.G.L. c. 265, ยง 18)
Entering a residence with intent to commit robbery or a felony.
Penalties may include:
-
Mandatory minimum of 10 years in state prison
4. Carjacking (M.G.L. c. 265, ยง 21)
Taking a vehicle from another person through force or intimidation.
Penalties may include:

Up to 15 years in prison

-
Probation and long-term court supervision
-

Common Legal Defenses Me and My Team Use in Robbery Cases
Every robbery charge is unique, and the right defense strategy depends on the facts of your case. Me and my team here at The Law Offices of Kensley Barrett often challenge robbery charges using defenses such as:
Mistaken Identity
Robbery cases often rely on eyewitness testimony that may be unreliable or inaccurate.
Lack of Force or Intimidation
If the prosecution cannot prove force or threats, the charge may be reduced to a lesser offense.
False Accusations
We investigate the credibility, motives, and background of individuals making allegations.
Insufficient Evidence
Robbery cases often fall apart due to weak or circumstantial evidence.
Violation of Constitutional Rights
If police conducted an unlawful search, seizure, interrogation, or identification procedure, critical evidence may be excluded.
