How many years is a bank robbery conviction?

It will depend if it is handled by the Feds or the State. If its the Federal system that picks it up - as they should because its a bank robbery - there is no set time you can do since it depends upon a point system that takes everything into consideration rather than just the range of years for the crime. If its prosecuted by the state, I don't know the exact number of years range it is, but I can assure you it is most likely in the double digit range of years. Hire a good lawyer to assist you if you can.

Like the previous answer said, it depends. We'd need more information to give an answer on that one.

I agree with the 2 prior answers of my colleagues that it depends on the circumstances. Keep in mind also, though, that if a firearm was involved in the robbery, there may also be extremely long mandatory sentences involved as a result. You should definitely consult with a federal criminal lawyer, and I wish you the best of luck!

The basic crime w/o aggravating factors carries a 0 - 20 penalty. If defendant puts anyone's life in jeopardy or commits assault in the course of the robbery, the penalty is 0 - 25. If the defendant commits kidnapping or causes death, 10 - life or death. There's also an additional consecutive sentence for conduct with firearms where applicable. There's not much glamor or excitement in bank robbery. The great majority of bank robberies are committed by addicts passing a note to the teller claiming to have a gun. A great many of these are caught within hours passing dye-marked notes to buy narcotics. Most people who commit a bank robbery in those circumstances end up with about 12 - 15 years because they have priors and qualify as career offenders. If the defendant is armed and has a record, he's usually looking at a 20 - 30 year sentence.
