How much time can you get for a first offence robbery charge and can you avoid jail time with no money for a lawyer?

Jared Clayton Austin
Answered by attorney Jared Clayton Austin (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Austin Legal Services, PLC
It depends on what kind of robbery it is armed robbery, unarmed robbery, larceny. More information is needed. If he doesnt have money for a lawyer he may qualify for a court-appointed lawyer at no cost or reduced cost.

Yes the store employees can briefly detain a 14-year-old and search her and her bags if they think she was shoplifting. They don't have to have a parent present before they search her.
