It varies from municipality to municipality, state to state, country to country. For example, I am a victim of domestic abuse. I finally got up the courage to leave the relationship and press charges. In the past, he was charged with two counts of Domestic Assault in the 2nd degree, which were Class A Misdemeanors. Because he is a repeating offender, his new 2nd degree assault charge is an automatic Class C felony. He's also facing two counts of domestic assault in the third degree, and because he's a first time third-degree offender, they are class A misdemeanors. However, he violated an order of protection I have against him, and is also being charged with a stalking charge. The stalking charge would normally be a misdemeanor, but since it's violating an order of protection in which there are pending domestic assault cases, it's an automatic class D felony. However, this is all law based on where I live. The best resource for you to contact would be the circuit attorney where your case is/should be filed.
No, Missouri does not allow explugment to a criminal record
Assuming you are in the US, the answer is- maybe. If the assault was of a family member, it would be classed as Domestic Violence- which is a bar to possession of a firearm.
The maximum penalty for a third-degree felony charge is 2-10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
If it's a felony, no. If it is a misdemeanor, yes. The only misdemeanor that disqualifies you from owning a handgun is domestic violence.
That will depend on the specific state you are talking about. In most cases it is inappropriate touching.
Assault is one of the most common criminal charges. Assault is charged by degree, first through third, with First Degree Assault being the most serious. By far the most common of the three types of assault is Third Degree Assault. This is a misdemeanor offense, and because it is labeled an Extraordinary Risk Crime, carries a maximum sentence of two years in county jail. Added: As with any crime, there are no set punishments or sentences. The court must consider the applicable state law, the facts and circumstances, the defendant's prior history, and any other mitigating or aggravating factors to come to a fair and appropriate sentence.
My friend was charged with Assault in the 2nd Degree in New York City. The defence lawyer wants to charge a fee of $10,000.00 dollars Is this fee too high?
The second degree assault is considered more severe.
About 90%. No victim no crime
In the eyes of the legislature who wrote the law, one is more serious than the other. First degree assault would have a higher penalty than third degree assault.
