In Maryland, second degree assault is a misdemeanor, unless it is against a law enforcement officer or a parole agent, in which case it is a second degree felony. Assuming no previous record, the minimum sentence is 1 year of probation.

"Assault in the second degree" covers all forms of assault and/or battery that are not covered by Assault in the first degree.

Assault in the first degree covers intentionally causing or trying to cause serious bodily injury to another person, and any assault committed with a firearm of any kind.

Assault in the second degree is everything that is left over. It also covers the more serious offense of trying to cause any physical injury to a law enforcement officer if the defendant knew that person is one.

How long would you get with 2nd degree assault and im 17?

Most Second Degree Assault charges carry a mandatory sentence of five years with a maximum of eight years in prison. That's if the defendant is charged as an adult. And even though you are considered to be a juvenile in most states, you still may be charged as an adult. But the law is not arbitrary- the circumstances of the charge weigh greatly on the final ruling. Find an attourney; they will be able to advise you on your situation.
