I have no idea. I would have to look at the facts of the case, what the prosecutor's recommendation is. Ultimately it is up to the judge.

"Good time" is permitted but is discretionary, and not all Utah jails give good time reductions of sentence. Some are very generous and give a minimum of 5 days off the sentence for every 30 days an inmate goes without a write-up for a disciplinary offense.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'aggravated' robbery, particularly if the conviction is in California, but he is entitled to good time credits. It may only be 15% because of the type of charge, but he will get the appropriate reduction in time. He can lose these good time credits, however, if he misbehaves while serving his sentence.

Well that depends on his record and facts of the case and the judge.

If you mean can he be sentenced to a lot of time in prison then the answer is yes. He will be eligible for gain time since there should be no minimum mandatory because there was no firearm.
