5 Charged with Robbery

Congers- Police said that a 30-year-old man and four teenagers jumped a 21-year-old man walking along Old Haverstraw Road, beat him and then stole his cash before driving off in a red Mustang convertible.

Police then arrested all five based partially on the description of the car and because one officer knew of two of the teenagers and saw the vehicle before the reported strong-arm robbery occurred on Monday, Sgt. Harry Baumann said.

Arrested were Clinton Anderson, 30,  Lorenzo Thorpe, 18, and Marc Horowitz, 17. Police charged each one with second-degree robbery, second-degree assault, and fourth-degree criminal possession of stolen property.

Criminal Defense in Westchester County for Violent Crimes: Domestic Violence, Assault, Robbery and Murder

Violent crimes against another person are very serious.  They often result in extensive terms of imprisonment and a lifetime criminal record. Defendants subjected to prosecution for these types of offenses must have a highly experienced, concerned and aggressive lawyer on their side.  

Defending clients in the face of violent criminal charges is challenging.  With a tenacious and aggressive attorney, you can work to build a compelling case that challenges the prosecution's evidence and may result in a "not guilty" verdict. Westchester County criminal lawyer Robert Schuster is uniquely qualified to represent defendants in the face of violent crime charges. With experience as a former prosecutor, attorney Schuster understands both sides of the legal process: the defense and the prosecution. He can use this multi-faceted experience to anticipate the District Attorney's next move and provide more effective legal counsel.
