Different Types of San Ramon Violent Crimes Charges

The term “violent crimes” is broad. It is used to describe a variety of crimes ranging from assault to murder. Notably, assault includes instances where the alleged victim feared for their life, regardless of whether an individual actually harmed them; the threat of harm is what makes it assault. Assault while in possession of a firearm will lead to enhanced penalties.

Violent crimes include the following offenses:

• Assault
• Battery
• Assault causing major bodily injury
• Assault with a deadly weapon
• Armed robbery
• Terrorist threats
• Manslaughter
• Murder

To convict someone of violent crimes, prosecutors must meet a strict set of standards and provide adequate evidence. If they fail to provide permissible and abundant evidence, the charges against you could be reduced or completely dropped. A good attorney is experienced enough to see when your rights have been violated or when evidence has been wrongfully taken. Attorney Ahmed aggressively files motions against any evidence that was unlawfully procured, giving our clients a much stronger chance of acquittal or dismissal.

Penalties for Violent Crimes in CA

Most violent crimes are charged as a felony in California. However, even a misdemeanor charge of assault or battery can also carry significant penalties upon conviction.

A misdemeanor charge can carry the following penalties:

• Up to six months in county jail
• Fines up to $2,000

Violent crimes charged as felonies carry significant penalties. In the best cases, those charged with felony crimes face a maximum of three years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines. Felony charges for the most violent crimes, such as manslaughter or murder, can cause penalties of 25 years to life in prison. For the most severe sentences, convicted individuals will not have the possibility of being released on parole.
