With election day rapidly approaching, voters are having to
decide as to how they are going to vote on 20 different measures
on November 8. 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.

Police will occasionally submit articles of interest in the Hepp
ner Gazette-Times. If you should have any questions or topics
