Pasadena Violent Crime Attorney
By definition, a violent crime may include any criminal offense that is
committed against another person and involves threats, violence or injury.
Assault, for example, is a violent crime that involves threatening or
attempting to injure another person, with the apparent or actual ability
to carry the threat out. Battery is a violent crime that involves the
actual hitting, striking or touching of another person against their will.
Assault and battery are just two types of violent crimes.
Additional offenses that may be classified as violent crimes include:
Retaining the services of a skilled Pasadena criminal defense lawyer is
absolutely crucial in the face of violent crime charges. Due to the nature
of these offenses and the fact that they involve a victim who was injured
or threatened, the treatment by law enforcement and handling of a verdict
by a judge and jury may be increasingly harsh.
Penalties for Pasadena Violent Crime Convictions
The penalties that may be imposed upon a conviction for a violent crime
in Pasadena, California make these offenses all the more serious. Although
the specific penalties will vary depending on the nature of the offense,
a defendant may face imprisonment in state prison for years or possibly for life.
California's three strikes law, which applies to serious and violent felony
offenses, means that a person convicted of a felony violent crime will
receive a "strike" on his or her record. A second conviction
for a serious or violent felony will result in double the penalties. A
third conviction, for any type of felony, will result in 25 years to life
in prison.
