The term "assault" can bring a number of images to a person's mind. The fact is any type of intentional or reckless conduct that injures another person can be charged as an assault. In certain circumstances, assault can be charged as a Measure 11 crime, which will bring on severe mandatory minimum penalties. A conviction to assault in the first degree will lead to a minimum of 90 months (seven and a half years) in prison. A second degree assault conviction will lead to a minimum of 70 months (five years and 10 months) in prison. If you have been charged with any type of assault, you need a defense lawyer who will challenge the state's case at every turn.
