Keep in mind the "any term of years" portion of the maximum penalty. Many factors go into determining this number. E.g., particular facts about the instant crime, past criminal adjudications (including juvenile.) And as important as anything is the Attorney you select to handle the case and advocate for you. Take care and good luck.

Up to life in prison if it is a state offense. An experienced violent crimes defense attorney should be consulted ASAP.

The penalty is the same as the charged offense, which is armed robbery. The same is true for any crime of conspiracy. The punishment for armed robbery is any term of years up to life in prison. This is an extremely serious felony and if charged you need to be represented by an experienced criminal defense attorney ASAP.
