He did not enter the bank at night, but rather during the bank’s hours of operation. Upon entering the bank, he asked for directions to a certain area and almost immediately showed a revolver. Once he showed the revolver, he then threatened an employee with the use of his revolver. Shortly after, he continued to follow the plan of robbery. Prince was found guilty on two counts. The first count was the charge of a robbery offense, and the second count was the charge of entering the bank with the intent to commit a felony. He was later sentenced to 20 years for the robbery offense and 15 years for the charge of entering the …show more content…

Holding: The Prince can either receive a maximum punishment of 20 years in jail for robbery or receive a maximum punishment of 20 years in jail for entering the bank with criminal intent.
