How much Jail time will you get for aggravated assault in Alberta?
No real way to tell. The things that will influence this would be- prior charges, whether the assault was unprovoked, amount of physical damage, age, sex and condition of victim, whether charges are pressed by the victim or the crown, mental state of the perpetrator, random victim or family member, etc. Being premeditated would be a factor, too. Just in case you're planning something.

How much jail time can you get for assault with a weapon n resisting arrest in the state of Georgia which the state has taken over the case since victim would not press charges?
The entire premise of your question is faulty to begin with. Victims cannot decide whether to 'press charges' or not. Only the state has the ability to press charges, especially in a case such as you describe which involves a felony assault. Therefore: it is the state which chooses whether or not to prosecuite you and the victim has no say in the matter.

Depending on the wording of the statutes in your particular state, the charges will be similar to: "Assault And Battery" - "Threats In A Menacing Manner" - Assault With A Deadly Weapon." If any injuries were suffered by the victim the charges could be 'enhanced.' When you are presented to court, you will be read the charges against you, and you will have the opportunity to consult with an attorney/public defender before you make your plea.
