Thanks. I had the same question as ELB and this explains it. Purse snatching is normally charged as Theft from Person. But if the victim is injured, then it becomes Robbery and if it is a serious bodily injury, then it becomes Aggravated Robbery. Broken bones are almost always considered serious bodily injury, and the age of the victim combined with any injury also makes it aggravated robbery.abom2 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2019 5:52 pmWhat was stolen was a purse containing $300.00 dollars and an ID.
What made this aggravated per our instructions, was the victim was over 65 yrs of age, denied the use of property or devices (money), and was injured. Basically, victim was 92 yrs old. Went to bank with Care Giver, Felon came into bank, chose his victim by all who was at the tellers, exited bank, waited under tree at edge of parking lot. When the Care Giver and Victim exited the bank and headed towards their car he came across the parking lot, closed the distance at their rear, and while Care Giver was unlocking passenger door, he moved in, snatched the purse, causing victim to lose purchase of cane being used to walk. She fell and broke her hip.
