Innocent people get arrested for robbery b/c of misidentification. California lawyer, Neil Shouse explains. Fortunately, there are a variety of legal defenses to robbery charges. These include showing:
You didn’t use force or fear to take the property;
You honestly believed that you had a right to the property;
You are a victim of mistaken identity; and
You were falsely accused.

Penal Code 211 PC California's robbery law punishes the crime of taking someone else's property from the person's body or immediate possession, when accomplished by force or fear.1 This is a felony offense, punishable by two to nine years in the state prison.
