A minimum prison sentence of 1 to 3 years, depending on the circumstances of what happened and your criminal history. There is a good possibility of additional prison time enhancements.

You are looking at a minimum of 12 years. The gun is a 12 year enhancement. Low term on a robbery is 2 years. This is if you are only charged with one count of robbery and the gun enhancement. Given this is a serious and violent felony one would serve 85 percent of their sentence. These are serious charges. You want to make sure that you are properly represented by counsel.
