Jerry And Kenn With Attempted Armed Robbery
1. As a distirct attorney, I can charge Jerry and Kenn with attempted armed robbery and conspiracy. Before I elaborate on

my answer, I will first define what these charges mean.

First, armed robbery involves having a weapon while taking and carrying away somebody else's property by violence with

intent to permanently keep the taken property. Simply put, it is what it sounds like, robbery with weapon. Then,

Now, I will relate Jerry and Kenn to their charges. Kenn purchased .38 revolver to rob the bank, and Jerry

According to the Uniform Crime Report (UCR), “armed robbery is defined as an aggravated form of robbery in which the defendant is armed with a dangerous weapon.” According to FB1 (2012)’’ There were an estimated 354,520 robberies nationwide in 2012. The 2012 estimated number of robberies decreased 0.1 percent from the 2011 estimate and 20.1 percent from the 2008 estimate”.

    As a Criminologist Advisor to the State Legislature, I have been chosen to provide a prison term policy on armed robbery. Currently the legislature will soon be voting on a bill that would double the maximum prison term for anyone convicted of armed robbery. First I would like to define what the legal definition of armed robbery is as defined by the Black's Law Dictionary which is: an aggravated form of robbery in which the defendant is armed with a dangerous weapon, though it is not necessary to prove that he used the weapon to effectuate the robbery. The taking of property from person or presence of another by use of force or by threatening use of force while armed with a dangerous weapon (Black's Law Dictionary, 6th Edition).…

    Juvenile justice is the section of law that applies to persons under the age of 18 not capable of receiving sentencing in the adult court system or old enough to be responsible for criminal acts committed in society. In most states the age of criminal culpability is 18 however, the age requirement can be set lower in accordance to certain crimes and statutes set by the state the juvenile lives in. Juvenile law is primarily run by state law and most states enforce a specific juvenile code the system follows. The juvenile justice system primarily focuses on rehabilitation rather than punishment for youthful offenders. Society appears to concentrate that children are more capable of change than adult offenders more capable of knowing right from wrong ("Cornell University Law School," n.d.).…

    In both instances the criminals attacked targets that they believed would soft easy for them to rob; however, they were thwarted by a gun owner. This could also be prevented with open carry as most criminals will decide against attacking their target if they cannot do it without themselves getting injured or killed. Open carry also allows the individual carrying to draw their firearm faster than if it was concealed.

    Homicide is the killing of one human being by another. (Osterburg, J. 2014). Robbery is the act of robbing a person or place. (Osterburg, J. 2014). The crime scene assessment provides the major opportunity to locate physical evidence. The initial response should be regarded as the only chance to recognize, record, and collect physical evidence. The investigator must make the most of it. This search, however, must be conducted properly and lawfully, or the evidence will be suppressed in the course of a trial. Police should not relinquish control over the scene and its environs until all evidence has been discovered, documented and collected. If it must be gone over again later, legal difficulties may be created because…
