California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Haro, E066061 (Cal. App. 2017):
language makes clear that attempted second degree robbery is a felony. ( 17, subd. (a) ["A felony is a crime that is punishable . . . by imprisonment in the state prison . . . ."].) And, every offense declared to be a felony, where the punishment is unspecified, is punishable by imprisonment for 16 months, two years, or three years. ( 18, subd. (a).) Hence, the court was correct that the applicable middle term sentence was two years' imprisonment. (People v. Moody (2002) 96 Cal.App.4th 987, 990 [considering and rejecting the defendant's argument, and holding the applicable triad for attempted second degree robbery is 16 months, two years, or three years, as stated in 18].)
