    Default What's the Punishment for First Degree Robbery

    My question involves criminal law for the state of:Kentucky

    My good friends little sister and her boyfriend we arrested this week and both charged with 2 robbery 1st degree charges.
    She is 19 and this is the first time she has been arrested as an adult. She has been in Juvi once for fighting when she was 17.

    They were caught stealing $400 worth of merchandise and assaulted the loss prevention officer trying to stop them by breaking her nose. They got away but when surveillance photos were posted and they were identified another lady came forward, saying she demanded her purse in the mall parking lot and was assaulted when she refused.
    They were arrested a few days later. Her boyfriend had a stun gun on him and she had a gun on her.

    Any idea what her sentence will be or how much time she will actually have to serve? I know its a class B felony which is 10-20 years but i didn't know if it was a mandatory minimum of 10 years or not.
    Thank you!

    According to the statute "not less than 10 years."

    Of course, it's possible that they could plead down to a lesser charge and get a lighter sentence but nobody's going to be able to predict whether that happens.

    Were they charged with a weapons violation? If so, was the weapon recovered?
