Violent Crime Facts
Violent crimes include assault and battery, assault with a deadly weapon, child abuse, kidnapping, carjacking, manslaughter and murder. The more severe the injuries, if a firearm was used and the defendant’s criminal history greatly affect the penalties. Often, these crimes carry mandatory prison sentences. They are also classified as “strike” offenses.

The most serious violent crime is homicide. Murder, which is homicide, is the unlawful, unjustified, intentional killing of another person. Manslaughter, also a form of homicide, is the unlawful killing of another person without intent to kill.

There are differing degrees of homicides: First Degree Murder, Second Degree Murder, Voluntary Manslaughter and Involuntary Manslaughter. Penalties for homicide can range from life in prison to death for 1st degree murder to years in state prison for involuntary manslaughter. Factors such as the seriousness of injuries, whether or not a firearm was used in the commission of the crime and the criminal record of the accused will determine the potential sentence.

Assault with a deadly weapon, kidnapping, serious spousal abuse, robbery, carjacking, and sex crimes such as child molestation, rape and certain forms of child abuse often resuresult in lengthy prison sentences.

If you are charged with a violent crime, it is best to promptly retain an experienced criminal defense attorney with experience and success in defending those accused of violent crimes.

Greg Hill & Associates Can Help You By:
1Properly investigating the facts surrounding your case by hiring a professional investigator. It is critical to immediately interview the witnesses and potential defense witnesses before the police or prosecution has an opportunity to intimidate them. With good investigation, alibi witnesses, eyewitness identification problems and self defense issues can be firmly established. This will weaken the prosecution’s case.
2Researching potential legal defenses. This evaluation includes a discussion of the immigration consequences of a conviction for the charges alleged.

3Aggressively negotiating your case.
4Hiring a psychiatrist or psychologist to evaluate whether there are any mental defenses to the crimes charged. It is helpful in establishing these defenses to show that the perpetrator does not have a character trait for being violent or is suffering from a mental illness that mitigates the conduct.
5Providing alternative sentencing such as hiring a psychologist to present favorable evidence as to why the crime may have been committed, such as addiction issues, family problems, depression or some other undiagnosed medical problem. This can include alcohol and drug treatment, counseling and classes.
