Have a good buddy who was just sentenced to six years for Armed Robbery. He pleady guilty to second degree robbery (211-212.5(c) PC) and admitted to use of dangerous or deadly weapons (12022(d) PC)
Been friends with the guy for well over 20 years and was shocked to see him go down this path. This was actually the first time he has ever been arrested or even in trouble. He was granted 400 days of credit for his time in county as CA does a 3 for 1 type of deal.
My question is: How long should I expect him to be in for? I have read some places that it could be 55% of his sentence but I was leaning more towards 85% since it was a violent crime.
I realize what he did was horrible and wrong but this is not a question of morality but of the penal system.
Thanks in advance if anyone knows anything about the system. :toast:
