What is the max penalty conspiracy to commit a robbery in state of fl court system?

Three "black men" in a car at 3:00am with a sawed off shotgun under the front passenger. Go figure. Do they all go down for the gun? I don't know what they have been offered so far but it can't be good since they are still in there after 270 days, they have trial this week. HELP! Racial Profiling *** Police Officers!!!

I don't think they charged anyone with a gun charge, just all three with the conspiracy. The person who's seat it was under however was out on ROR for gun charges. I just wonder how a jury will see it. The driver and the back passenger have no charges in their whole life. Can this one charge seriously point out to a long sentence like i think they are facing? I doubt they'll get the max, but i still want to see what's they could face.

If you're saying 5 years, that kind of sounds like a max penalty. If they were to get that much time it would be racial profiling, luckily the judge makes the sentence and not the jury, if it was up to all the white people in the jury they'd probably get 100 years, but that's how the law works i guess. Oh well, glad it aint me ya digg, but damn, i wonder if they jury ever wonder if thy're being followed home from court afterward. . . . . I wonder if they'd notice.

First of all, sawed off shotguns are illegal. Help! Racial Profiling??? that is a forest and you know it. Three black men at 3 am with a shotgun and you think it's racial profiling. How funny. What do you suppose they were out doing that early in the morning? If the gun has shown to be involved in a robbery or crime they could all go down. They'll probably be found guilty and get around 5 years.

Lifes a *****...... be its pimp

lol i dont know in US but in the UK they bould be bent over lol lol lucky you in America i guess......here they would all get life for the shotgun (coz they had it to commt the offence).....life for possession of the shotgun itself (prohibited) and thats even before they think about getting out of the car......why does it matter if they were black?.......the defence team would get to suggest this issue may change the jury so it wold be even....or so it would here ...again dont know US

If they wanted to cite someone with a gun charge, they could use "constructive possession" to pin the gun to one specific person and when in a vehicle that would most likely be the person who is closest to the gun - the one who has the easiest access to it. (Florida has two kinds of possession: actual and constructive.)

In reference to the "conspiracy to commit a robbery" charge, do you mean just a straight 'conspiracy to commit a robbery' or do you mean, 'conspiracy to commit robbery with a firearm'?
