Violent Crime Charges & Sentencing in the Commonwealth

While every criminal charge comes with maximum penalties that a judge cannot exceed, some violent crime sentencing includes mandatory minimum sentences.

For instance, if convicted of these assault and batterycharges, a defendant would have to serve a minimum of:

• 90 days in jail if an EMT, ambulance staff, healthcare worker, or public employee was assaulted
• 1 year in jail if an on-duty was assaulted and seriously injured
• 2 years in prison for assault with a deadly weapon against an elderly victim
• 3 years in prison if the assault was meant to coerce someone to make a loan payment

In general, a defendant can expect to face more serious penalties if the violent crime was allegedly committed against someone who was 60 years old or more, pregnant, or a minor younger than 14 years old. Whatever the legal and social challenges of your case, our determined defense team is prepared to do what it takes to protect your rights.
