Question: I am charged with armed robbery aggregated assault and the victim told the court that I was threatened to do it what will happen I'm only 18 also

Answer: Armed robbery is very serious. You need to retain an attorney right away. In Georgia, there are four different types of robbery:

(1) Simple robbery (O.C.G.A. § 16-8-40(a)(1)) where one person takes the property of another from the immediate presence of another by use force;

(2) Robbery by intimidation (O.C.G.A. § 16-8-40(a)(2)) where one person takes the property of another from the immediate presence of another by intimidation, by the use of threats or coercion, or by placing the such person in fear of immediate serious bodily injury;

(3) Robbery by sudden snatching (O.C.G.A. § 16-8-40(a)(3)) where one person runs by another person and snatches property from immediate presence (e.g. purse snatching, gold chain from around neck); and 

(4) Armed robbery (O.C.G.A. § 16-8-41) where an offensive weapon is used to take the property of another from the person or immediate presence of another.
