There are two types of things on your criminal record. They are arrests and convictions. Many states allow you to expunge an arrest record if you are found not guilty at trial. You'd need to check the expungement laws for whichever state in which the charge was brought.

Can you drop charges for aggravated assault and battery?

Aggravated Assault occurs when the assault involves the assailant causing great bodily harm. However, many states define great bodily harm differently. For instance, the state of Illinois defines it as any action that results in the following: Loss of consciousness, temporary or permanent loss of eyesight, broken bones and/or teeth, multiple contusions, multiple lacerations, or any single laceration that requires 8 or more stitches. An aggravated assault cant be deemed to be a "simple assault" or plain "assault" if it is determined that there was in actuality no injury caused to the victim. The only other possible way is if a prosecutor offered a plea to the defendant that an admittance of guilt will only result in a simple assault charge.

I received a felony in Wisconsin this week how soon can you try to have it taken off your record and how do you go about it i live in minnesota also what are the consequences of what you can and can?

The only thing that will remove a felony arrest and/or conviction from your record is to have your record expunged. You must submit a petition/motion to the court system in which you were convicted, stating your reason(s) and giving good reason(s) why the record should be expunged. If you were convicted and are currently serving the sentence you cannot do this until after your sentence is completed. Expungement will only remove the record of your arrest and conviction from the the PUBLIC record, only law enforcement will have access to that portion of your ciminal history. Expungement IS NOT A PARDON, you will still be a convicted felon and you will not get your "rights" restored.


What is the punishment for a first-offense assault?

how much time do you get for aggavated assault charges in Texas. Only a lawyer can give you a good estimate. It depends on so many things, like whether you have a criminal record, if you've been charged with that crime before, if you have history of other violent crime, and especially the exact circumstance of the assault, whether it was provoked, whether you started it, how injured the person was from the assault, whether you persisted the assault after the person was knocked out/stunned, and so on. It could be anywhere from a few months to many years. If I remember correctly Texas has a three strikes law, so if you get arrested for the same crime three times, on the third strike you get life (25 years) in prison.

What is the difference between convicted and sentenced?

If someone is convicted that means they are found guilty of a crime (by jury or judge). After someone is convicted, they are sentenced, which means the judge (usually, sometimes jury) decides what punishment is appropriate. This can happen quite a while after someone is convicted because the court needs to do a presentencing investigation where the guilty party's age, past criminal record, mental health, etc. can be taken into account.


How long does a felony remain on the convicted person's record?

Permanently. The exceptions are a pardon or expungement granted by the governor of the state in which the person received the felony conviction or the President if it is a federal conviction.

For example, the person being cleared in a retrial or by evidence such as DNA being presented that proves the person inoccent of the crime for which he or she was convicted.


Overview of Assault And Battery?

Assault is a very common crime. Assault can be a misdemeanor or a felony. To be considered a felony, assault charges must involve a clear intent to cause significant bodily harm. If a deadly weapon is used, the crime becomes aggravated assault. Felony assault and battery is distinguished from attempted assault or simple assault by the extent of injury inflicted on the victim. Additionally, the nature of the victim could lead to a felony charge. For example, assault against a child or woman would be considered a felony. Felony assault charges are taken much more seriously. As a result, the penalties are much more severe. Felony assault and battery can fall in to a number of categories. As mentioned, the presence of a weapon signifies aggravated assault and battery. If the victim is a police officer or public official, it will be categorized as a felony regardless of the extent of the injury. If a sexual crime is involved, particularly against a minor, that charge will be more severe as well. Usually, a sexual assault perpetrator is required to register as a sex offender in addition to the other penalties. A felony assault and battery charge can also used if a person uses a motor vehicle to inflict home. The penalties for felony assault and battery can be extensive. In some states, a felony conviction could land someone in jail for up to twenty years. Other punishments include fines, payments to the victim, loss of the right to own firearms, probation, and required counseling. When a judge issues a sentence, several factors are taken in to consideration. The severity of the injuries will often lead to a stiffer sentence. If a weapon was used, that will play a role as well. Penalties for felony assault and battery will usually be tough. This is true for first time offenders. If the person has a prior conviction, they can expect severe penalties. Jail time is almost always issued in cases of felony assault and battery. There will also be extensive probation and financial penalties. Every state will carry different laws regarding felony assault and battery. Most states classify felonies in different levels. The nature of the crime, weapons used, and the victim all help determine the felony class that will be charged to a perpetrator.
