Finding the Weapon
For a robbery to be considered armed robbery, there has to be a weapon used. In order to solidify the case against you, the police and prosecution must uncover the weapon. Joe D. Gonzales can review the police procedures used in obtaining the weapon to determine if it was found during an illegal search and seizure, or if any of your other civil rights were violated.
Threat of a Weapon
In some cases, merely mentioning that you have a weapon during the commission of a robbery is enough to elevate the charges to armed robbery. To prove that you threatened to use a weapon during the crime, a witness must be questioned. Mr. Gonzales is skilled at questioning witnesses to determine exactly what their story is and break it down if necessary.
