There is an extremely broad range of possible sentences for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. They vary from state to state, but they are set by state statute (and can be read online from a given state's codes of criminal procedure). The actual sentence will vary from state to state, and also within different areas within a given state, though. There are a number of factors that influence the decision. How convincing was the prosecution? The defense? (Both have some bearing, though it is the judge who will pass sentence and not a jury - juries, if any, decide guilt.) What were the circumstances? (Huge.) How great was the injury or were the injuries? (Major.) What kind of weapon? What kind of record (if any) does the accused (or convicted) have? (A real biggie.) What is the background of the victim(s)? (Yes, it does have some weight. Was the victim a drug dealer? A shopkeeper? An undercover officer?) There are also some variations between judges of the same court. This broad question, though it is a good (and important!) one, asks something that is most difficult to assess from across town or across the country. Particularly so when it is so broad in its nature and the variables are so numerous.
