Recently a local citizen asked my opinion on Measure 11 which requires mandatory sentencing of junveniles 15 years and older who commit serious violent crimes, listed in your Oregon voters' pamphlet. One of the crimes in question listed in Measure 11 is First Degree Armed Robbery. The citizen, like a number of other persons, is confused with the legal definitions of robbery and theft. The citizen told me she and her husband were both in favor of this measure until they read the opponent's point of view. The opponent of this measure states for example: if a 15 year old robs a classmate of a hat, the mandatory sentence would be 7V 2 years in prison. The citizen said she could not support such a law if some high school stu dent merely stole another person's hat. I would have to agree that this law sounds confusing unless you understand the legal definition of first degree armed robbery and theft. ORS 164.415 basically states that a person commits the crime of first degree robbery when in the course of committing or at- tehipting to commit theft: (a)T§ Xf/Tfed with a deadly weapon; or (b) uses or attempts to use a dangerous weapon; or (c) causes or attempts to cause serious physical injury to any person. In other words a person who commits the crime of first degree arm ed robbery when he uses a gun or knife and threatens to cause serious physical injury to another in the course of his act to steal something. ORS 164.015 basically states that a person commits the crime of theft when, intent to deprive another of property. In simple terms, the student who steals a hat. The opponent's point of view of this measure can be misleading to the voters unless you fully understand the difference between these two statutes. I think you would have to agree that if a 15 year old commits the crime of first degree robbery, the hat or any other item is really not the issue. However, what does con cern me is the fact that this person caused or attempted to cause injury to another persons life. It is not the author's intent to sway the voter one way or another but only to clarify the issues.
