Understanding Assault Law

In criminal cases, assaults may be prosecuted anywhere from simple assaults charged as misdemeanors to attempted murder with different allegations and/or sentencing enhancements. The prosecution can charge assaults in many different ways depending on the circumstances. For example, if a weapon were used, the assault may be enhanced by use of a weapon allegation and corresponding sentencing enhancements as well as making the crime a violent felony, for future sentencing enhancement purposes.
