About Violent Crimes
A misdemeanor crime can become a felony when the element of force enters into the circumstances of the offense. Types of violent crimes are murder, manslaughter, assault, assault & battery, aggravated assault or assault with a deadly weapon, domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse, kidnapping, carjacking and other types of serious crimes. The penalties for violent crimes can be significant and can include:
- Term in state or federal prison
- Parole
- Fines and court costs
- Counseling and rehabilitation
Some factors that can affect the punishment imposed by a judge are prior offenses, involvement of minors, gang-related activities, weapons use, and other circumstances of the criminal act. A prosecutor presents evidence of a violent crime and must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the offense. Most cases rely on witness statements, victim statements, police reports, and forensics. A defense lawyer can challenge all evidence as well as warrants and arrest procedures. The use of experts when countering evidence is sometimes necessary in providing a good defense.
