Robbery belongs among the grave crimes of the Criminal Code of Georgia: the penalty under this article begins at five years and reaches fifteen. The law defines robbery as an attack on another's movable property for the purpose of its unlawful appropriation, committed with violence dangerous to life or health, or with the threat of applying such violence. If such a charge has touched you, it is important to know from the first day on which elements this composition rests and what raises the penalty — it is in precisely these details that the possibilities of the defense lie.
