According to Washington state law, robbery is the taking of an object from a person, while theft is only the act of taking an object. The definitions of these theft crimes are very important, especially considering that prosecutors sometimes overcharge for lesser crimes.
A Robbery Charge May Not Be a True Case of Robbery
In Washington, prosecutors will often pursue a robbery charge for a crime that looks more like shoplifting. If while trying to steal something small, a store employee touches the object, the offender may be charged with robbery. In this way, prosecutors may "overcharge" a theft with a robbery charge.
To fight this underhanded tactic, you need an aggressive, experienced criminal defense lawyer who can recognize this practice. Attorney Kris Jensen has significant defense experience and experience as a judge pro tem that gives him valuable insight into how prosecutors develop robbery and theft cases. Our firm can help you in these tricky cases to get the best outcome possible based on the facts of your case.
