He indicated that he had a gun on him. However, no gun was ever seen or found. Bob sat in a vehicle out front of the bank waiting for Jim. Jim obtained a large sum of money and then proceeded to the vehicle. Bob left the scene with Jim in the passenger seat of his vehicle. Jim and Bob were located in the car a short time later with the money. Both were arrested and charged with Robbery.

Solution

The Crown would present the following factors to the courts:

Aggravating Factors: These are circumstances that increase the severity or culpability of a criminal act. In Jim's case, these could include his violent history, his lengthy criminal record, and the fact that he had several previous robbery convictions. The Crown could also mention that Jim threatened the bank teller by indicating he had a gun, even though no gun was found.

Probation Report: This report, prepared by probation services, provides information about Jim's past and history. It could contain details about his previous criminal activities, his behavior while on probation, and any other relevant information that could influence the court's decision.

Character references from friends and family members of Jim: While these are typically used as mitigating factors, in this case, they could potentially be used by the Crown to further establish Jim's character and past behavior. If these references indicate a pattern of criminal behavior or a lack of remorse, they could serve to strengthen the Crown's case for a maximum sentence.
