Violent Crimes Are The Most Serious Criminal Charges
Criminal charges are serious when someone is hurt or killed as a result of your actions. Prosecution of violent offenses such as murder, manslaughter or assault are not taken lightly. Long prison and jail sentences are possible, felony convictions, and the loss of a right to possess a firearm can result from a violent conviction.
Your actions may have been justified by self-defense or defense of another, or defense of your property. Your intent in acting by assaulting or harming the other person are important in determining what level criminal charge you may face. If someone died as a result of your actions, it does not necessarily mean you committed murder. Depending on the circumstances and situation you were in at the time of the events will determine what crime of violence is warranted for your actions. The purpose behind what you did, and your thought process is acting play a key role in defending these kinds of charges. That is why early involvement by an experienced trial lawyer is important. Prosecutors and police are going to seek statements from you in order to establish your state of mind when the event occurred. Invoking your right to remain silent and your right to an attorney are detrimental during the early stages of the investigation.
