What is the maximum penalty for attempted robbery ×6, aggravated robbery with bodily harm with deadly weapon for an 18 year old who used a pellet gun?

Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
More facts are needed than given. Basically robbery is a first degree felony, but can be a life felony depending upon the facts. An attempt is one degree less, so even if the state treats the robberies as second degree felonies, the sentence could be 90 years.

You might be able to get a new hearing, but the driver's license division wouldn't be required to give one. It's a long shot, but it might be worth a try.
