yes
Depends on the circumstances and the judge. Usually 2-6 years in prison if convicted and a few thousand dollars in fines.
In Perth, Western Australia, the punishment is as follows: Depending on the level of injury, it would be either 1st or 2nd degree assault. First degree is a level 11 felony carrying roughly 9 years for someone with no history and 25 years for someone with the max history. If it is second degree assault, it is a level 4 felony carrying 9 months for somoene with no history or 5 years for someone with the max history.
life in prison
what is the difference between 1st, 2nd,and 3rd degree assault
Depends on what kind of aggravated assault it is. Was it 1st degree assault? Second degree? Were weapons used? How badly was the victim injured? Did the victim survive the attack? Please be specific so I can better answer your question.
The burden is on the perpetrator, NOT the victim.
It can be but sentences very widely from place to place and from crime to crime.
depends on the degree of murder. If he planned to do it, its 1st degree (life) you can also have something as low as criminal neglect which is a much lower sentence
Not including "class D Violent felonies", they include Attempted manslaughter in the 2nd degree, attempted vehicular manslaughter in the 2nd degree, vehicular assault in the 1st degree, reckless endangerment in the 1st degree, attempted rape in the 2nd degree, sodomy in the 2nd degree, and promoting a sexual performance by a child. I got this from the NYSED website.
I'm assuming you mean for criminal charges. In that case, "spousal abuse" does not apply because there is no such criminal charge in New York. Rather, if your spouse hit you or threatened you, the crime of assault is applicable, regardless of how the perpetrator is related to you. Assault breaks down into 3 categories: Assault in the 1st Degree; Assault in the 2nd Degree; Assault in the 3rd degree. Assault in the 1st degree is a Class B felony and the statute of limitations for bringing criminal charges is 5 years under the NY Criminal Procedure Law, Section 30.10. Assault in the 2nd Degree is a Class D felony and the statute of limitations for criminal charges is 5 years under the NY Criminal Procedure Law, Section 30.10. Assault in the 3rd Degree is a Class A misdemeanor and the statute of limitations for bringing criminal charges is 2 years under the NY Criminal Procedure Law, Section 30.10. As far as what constitutes the three different degrees of assault in NY (1st degree: NY Penal Code, Section 120.10; 2nd Degree: NY Penal Code, Section 120.05; 3rd degree: NY Penal Code, Section 120.00), it's very complicated and there are a lot of criteria involved. I could reprint the text of the relevant laws here, but it'll go on forever and just look like a bunch of gobledy-goonk. Therefore, if the offense against you occurred within the last 5 years, I suggest you contact the police and tell them exactly what happened so that they may make a determination as to what degree of assault you're talking about here and respond accordingly.
