Hackensack Aggravated Assault Attorney Adam M. Lustberg Explains the Penalties for an Aggravated Assault Conviction
Apr 6, 2022
April 06, 2022 - /PressAdvantage/ - Hackensack aggravated assault attorney Adam M. Lustberg releases a new article (https://www.lustberglaw.com/aggravated-assault-attorney/) explaining the penalties for an aggravated assault conviction. The lawyer mentions that the main difference between an assault and an aggravated is the weapon used. The court will also take into account the relationship between the victim and the defendant, as well as the intent of assault and severity of the injury.
According to the Hackensack aggravated assault attorney, “Typically, any crime in New Jersey that includes attempted murder, robbery, rape, or assault with a deadly or dangerous weapon is considered aggravated assault – and this is a felony in NJ that carries severe penalties.”
The lawyer mentions that aggravated assault can be considered a felony in New Jersey. N.J.S.A. 2C:12-1b defines aggravated assault as an attempt to “cause serious bodily injury to another” or knowingly cause injury to someone else without valuing their life. To convict a defendant of aggravated assault, the prosecution must prove that the defendant acted recklessly and knowingly.
Attorney Adam M. Lustberg mentions that aggravated assault cases also include the use of weapons such as knives or guns. During the trial, there will be consideration of the possibility of death, impairment, and disfigurement. To make the punishment more severe, most aggravated assault cases are often accompanied by criminal weapons charges.
Attorney Lustberg states in the article that aggravated assault is a different charge than simple assault. A person convicted of aggravated attack could face up to ten (10) years in prison. However, simple assault is considered a disorderly offense and will be dealt with in a municipal court.
“When you are charged with aggravated assault, the degree of your offense will determine the penalties if you are convicted. Whether you are charged with a fourth-degree, third-degree, or second-degree offense depends upon many factors, including the location of the assault, bodily injury caused by the assault, whether the victim was a minor, prior criminal history, and whether you are charged with other crimes in addition to the assault,” says the assault attorney.
Lastly, attorney Lustberg emphasizes the importance of having a skilled lawyer when facing charges of aggravated assault. An experienced lawyer may be able to help the defendant protect their rights and their freedom.
