Over/under on sentence is 1 year.


Over if they convict him for armed robbery. Mandatory 10-99 years.

Louisiana Law on Armed robbery

A. Armed robbery is the taking of anything of value belonging to another from the person of another or that is in the immediate control of another, by use of force or intimidation, while armed with a dangerous weapon.

B. Whoever commits the crime of armed robbery shall be imprisoned at hard labor for not less than ten years and for not more than ninety-nine years, without benefit of parole, probation, or suspension of sentence.

That needs to be on billboards. Maybe a few of these shitbirds would go in a different direction.

I was impressed with your response but REALLY impressed with your long term restraint and lurkiness.

You post like a camel drinks.

I wish OweO & DavidTheGnome took after you.

He might have gotten away if the Mayor’s new Express CATS route had been in place.

how will they prove armed robbery without video proof? Are there any eye witnesses?

If the victim (eyewitness) identifies him and testifies as they reported the crime to police, that's all that's needed.

quote:

Jones reportedly had a handgun and demanded the victim’s wallet. Officials said after the victim handed over the wallet, Jones fled the scene and headed off campus.

I meant 3rd party eyewitness. I guess I don't know how this works. If he denies he had a gun, could he get a lighter sentence?

Like any crime, the facts have to be proved beyond a reasonable doubt. That proof often comes in the form of victim testimony. "The defendant put a gun in my face and demanded my wallet. He took it and ran." If the jury finds that testimony credible, that's enough.

The lack of a third-party witness does not mean he walks. Circumstantial evidence (such as using the vic's credit card soon afterward) is also admissible.

Despite what CSI may imply, the prosecutor does not have to present video or DNA to convict someone, or convictions before the modern era would have been scarce.

If the jury did not believe the prosecutor proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant used a weapon, they could convict of simple robbery (same as armed, just without a weapon). Some call it strong-arm robbery. The potential sentence is much lighter.

§65. Simple robbery

A. Simple robbery is the taking of anything of value belonging to another from the person of another or that is in the immediate control of another, by use of force or intimidation, but not armed with a dangerous weapon.

B. Whoever commits the crime of simple robbery shall be fined not more than three thousand dollars, imprisoned with or without hard labor for not more than seven years, or both.

A sentence for simple, unlike for armed, could be suspended, and the defendant is potentially eligible for parole after serving a portion of the time.

This is actually becoming a problem IRL. Juries are expecting the standard of proof they see on TV.
