Phoenix, Arizona, Homicide and Assault Defense Lawyer
A conviction for a violent crime such as assault or manslaughter can lead to the most severe penalties and prison time. A conviction for first-degree murder carries a mandatory prison sentence of life in prison or the death sentence. Even second-degree attempted murder will mean mandatory time behind bars of at least 16 years. A first-time conviction for a class two felony charge of aggravated assault will mean a minimum of seven years in prison. Prosecutors throughout Arizona are intent on making sure that violent criminals lose their freedom for a long time.
