What is 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree robbery?

Question

Please, if you don't know, don't answer. I want someone who actually knows what they're talking about to answer. Thank you.

I live in Alabama

Answer 1

1st degree is with a deadly weapon, 2nd degree is by force without a weapon in most states, 3rd degree is sometimes called simple robbery. Some states also specify the degree by who the robbery victim is, for example in CA a robbery of a taxi driver is automatically a 1st degree robbery regardless of weapon.

It really varies between the states as to what each degree means, sorry I can't be more specific for you. If you add a detail for one state in particular I'll get that for you and post it.

OK, Alabama it is... :)

Murder in the first degree in the following cases: 1. A person commits murder in the first degree when that person unlawfully and with malice aforethought causes the death of another human being. Malice is that deliberate intention unlawfully to take away the life of a human being, which is manifested by external circumstances capable of proof. A person also commits the crime of murder in the first degree, regardless of malice, when that person or any other person takes the life of a human being during, or if the death of a human being results from, the commission or attempted commission of murder of another person, shooting or discharge of a firearm or crossbow with intent to kill, intentional discharge of a firearm or other deadly weapon into any dwelling or building, and by using forcible rape, robbery with a dangerous weapon, kidnapping, escape from lawful custody, eluding an officer, first degree burglary, first degree arson, unlawful distributing or dispensing of controlled dangerous substances, or trafficking in illegal drugs. Homicide is murder in the second degree in the following cases: 1. When perpetrated by an act imminently dangerous to another person and evincing a depraved mind, regardless of human life, although without any premeditated design to effect the death of any particular individual; or 2. When perpetrated by a person engaged in the commission of any felony other than the unlawful acts. I think you are referring to Manslaughter when you say "3rd degree murder." Homicide is manslaughter in the first degree in the following cases: 1. When perpetrated without a design to effect death by a person while engaged in the commission of a misdemeanor. 2. When perpetrated without a design to effect death, and in a heat of passion, but in a cruel and unusual manner, or by means of a dangerous weapon; unless it is committed under such circumstances as constitute excusable or justifiable homicide. 3. When perpetrated unnecessarily either while resisting an attempt by the person killed to commit a crime, or after such attempt shall have failed.

Answer 6

1st=Deadly weapon such as a gun, with intent to kill if necessary, or used.
2nd=With a knife, ditto, or a club, etc. Not used in action.
3rd=Strong arm, no deadly weapon.

I think these are right.
