What Is Robbery Under Massachusetts Law?

Robbery is the taking of property from another person by force or intimidation. It differs from larceny (which lacks a confrontational element) and burglary (which focuses on unlawful entry). Key statutes include:

Armed Robbery (M.G.L. c. 265, § 17) — robbery while armed with a weapon.
Unarmed Robbery (M.G.L. c. 265, § 19) — robbery by force or threat without a weapon.
Home Invasion (M.G.L. c. 265, § 18) — entering a dwelling with intent to commit robbery or another felony.
Carjacking (M.G.L. c. 265, § 21) — taking a vehicle by force or intimidation.

Penalties for Robbery in Massachusetts

Robbery charges carry extremely serious penalties:

Armed Robbery: Up to life in state prison; mandatory minimum sentences (e.g., 5 years for first offense, more for repeats).
Unarmed Robbery: Up to life in prison in severe cases.
Home Invasion: Significant mandatory minimum sentences (statutory minimums apply).
Carjacking: Lengthy prison terms (severity increases with weapon use).

A robbery conviction also leads to collateral consequences: loss of employment opportunities, immigration exposure, and a lifelong felony record.

Common Legal Defenses for Robbery Charges

We thoroughly investigate every robbery allegation and pursue defenses such as:

Mistaken identity — eyewitness misidentification is common.
Lack of force or intimidation — elements of robbery must be proved.
False accusation — interrogate motive and credibility of accusers.
Unlawful police conduct — suppress evidence obtained through rights violations.
Insufficient evidence — require prosecution to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
