Aggravated assault is considered to be a very serious crime. It can carry a possible 20-year prison sentence. Unlike simple assault, there are very specific conditions that must be met for an assault to be considered aggravated. The assault must occur:
- With the intent to murder, to rape or to rob;
- With a deadly weapon of some kind (it can be almost anything as long as it can or actually does cause serious bodily harm), or
- Someone discharges a firearm from a moving vehicle toward a person or persons
When someone is charged with aggravated assault, the risk of him or her spending substantial time in prison dramatically increases. The need to have your rights represented by an attorney with the necessary experience and skill also increases.
