Defense for Armed Robbery Charges in Arizona

Armed Robbery is a Class 2 Felony Under A.R.S. §13.1904. Armed Robbery is classified Dangerous Offense and crime against a victim. Arizona sentencing and penalties are harsh for Armed Robbery convictions in Arizona. The state and prosecution purse convictions egregiously, to the maximum degree in Arizona. The State prosecution has the burden of proving “beyond a reasonable doubt” that a defendant is guilty of committing the crime for which they were accused. Robbery convictions weigh heavily on proving:

1. The identity of the suspect;
2. Material evidence such as fingerprints; surveillance footage; and photographs;
3. Proof that a deadly weapon or deadly instrument was possessed or used in the crime;
4. Lawful, constitutional searches and seizures of the crime weapon; evidence and items allegedly stolen in the robbery;
5. The defendant must be guilty of Robbery under A.R.S, 13-1902

Subsequently, the defense will move to suppress as much evidence as possible regarding proof of identity that the defendant committed the robbery; proof of that deadly weapon was used in the robbery; and challenge constitutionality of police and investigative conduct in the case.
