How to Defend Against Las Vegas Robbery Charges

Some people do not consider robbery charges to be very serious. However, even a relatively minor first-offense conviction can have some serious consequences on your personal and professional life down the line.

Because of the hastiness of this crime, victims of Las Vegas robbery can be confused about who actually robbed them. If you are around the area when the robbery happened, there is the possibility of you being falsely accused especially if you have the likeness of the robber or mistaken as involved with the robber in any way due to being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
You can defend yourself against a Las Vegas robbery charge by arguing any of the following:
  • You were mistaken as the robber
  • You are not in the place where and when the crime was committed
  • There is not enough proof to show that you are indeed the robber and you have strong pieces of evidence that it is not you
  • You did steal from the victim(s) but you did not use violence at all, rather you have pick-pocketed or taken money or property while they are away
