I've been googling this, but I can't find any definitive answers; the circumstances of my character are a little unique, and I believe that her actions constitute a third degree robbery, which is making it harder to find information. In bullet point form, here's her situation:
- It is 1989
- She commits the robbery with a gun, which she carried, concealed, for about a week prior to the crime
- The robbery is an impulsive act, not premeditated
- No one is injured
- She is an extremely wealthy white woman who can afford an excellent lawyer
- She has been seeing a therapist for two years (without a diagnosis) and was recently recommended to an inpatient treatment center
Would she get out of this? Or go to jail? Either option is fun--I'm curious about the credibility of both.
