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 battery charges, 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.
