Understanding Assault, Robbery, and Violent Crime Charges
Types of Violent Crimes and Their Potential Penalties
Violent crimes encompass a range of offenses involving force or the threat of force against another person. Each type of crime comes with its own set of legal definitions and potential penalties:
- Assault: Assault charges range from simple assault, which may involve threats or minor physical harm, to aggravated assault involving serious injury or use of a deadly weapon. Penalties vary depending on the severity of injuries and the circumstances, with aggravated assault carrying more severe consequences.
- Robbery: Unlike burglary, robbery involves taking someone else’s property through the use of force or intimidation, often leading to physical confrontation. Connecticut law classifies all forms of robbery as felonies, with armed robbery resulting in particularly harsh sentences due to the involvement of weapons.
- Other Violent Offenses: This category includes charges such as battery, assault with a deadly weapon, kidnapping, and, in the most severe cases, murder. Penalties are severe, and charges can escalate to more significant offenses based on factors such as intent, harm caused, and the presence of a weapon.
Each violent crime charge carries unique consequences, which may increase if the alleged victim is a vulnerable individual, such as a pregnant woman or a law enforcement official. Attorney Kratter is well-versed in defending these cases, working to reduce charges and explore all possible defense strategies.
