What is the penalty for committing aggravated robbery in the first degree?

The penalty for committing aggravated robbery in the first degree is imprisonment for not more than 20 years or a fine of not more than $35,000. This classification of aggravated robbery reflects its seriousness under Minnesota law, where it typically involves the use or threat of force, as well as the potential use of a dangerous weapon or the presence of accomplices. The prescribed punishment is intended to serve as a deterrent, reflecting the gravity of the crime in terms of the threat posed to victims and the community.

In contrast, the other options suggest penalties that do not align with the severity of the offense. Imprisonment for not more than 10 years or 5 years would apply to less severe crimes, whereas life without parole is typically reserved for the most heinous offenses, not specifically for aggravated robbery in the first degree.
