Burglary
Burglary charges fall into two categories. The more severe charge is first degree burglary, which is for residential burglary, including houses. Second degree burglary is for crimes involving commercial properties.
In California, the three strikes law applies to burglary. First degree burglary is a felony and a conviction counts as a strike against you. A second degree burglary charge can be a felony or a misdemeanor and allow you to avoid a strike. Fighting to reduce the exact burglary charge you face is an important part of any burglary defense.
Robbery
California considers robbery to be any theft in which an item was stolen with force or fear. Many robbery crimes include guns and weapons crimes, including armed robbery with guns, knives, and automatic weapons.
