Aggravated Assault versus Assault in Nogales

According to ARS 13-1203, assault is considered any intentional, knowing, or reckless injury of another person. This can also include threats, insults, and provocation. However, according to ARS 13-1204, aggravated assault is intentional harm that involves the use of weapons and may cause severe injury. Under this statute, the following actions are considered acts of aggravated assault:

Causes physical injury
Forceful assault that results in disfigurement or bodily impairment
Uses a deadly weapon
Harms someone who is restrained and defenseless
Assaults, or incidents where you intended to assault someone in their own home
Harms a minor who is less than 15 years old
Assault of an official, teacher, health care worker, legal representative, or public transportation personnel
Seizes or attempts to seize control of an officer’s weapon
Use of a simulated deadly weapon

Aggravated assault is often subject to more serious charges given the use of force and weaponry involved. While these cases may also be more complex, your aggravated assault defense attorney in Nogales has the necessary experience to defend you and navigate the various legal requirements and obstacles. They will also protect your rights and pursue a better outcome for your case.

Aggravated Assault Can Result in Significant Prison Time in Nogales

Penalties for aggravated assault can range from a class 6 felony for mild offenses up to a class 2 felony, which is the most serious. According to ARS 13-704, a prison sentence for a first-time offender could range from 1.5 to 21 years, depending on the felony class and the circumstances involved in the alleged crime. Penalties continue to increase with each prior conviction an individual has.

Additionally, it is important to be aware of what the charges are for aggravated assault on a police officer. These offenses often receive harsher punishments given the stature of law enforcement. Penalties could range from two to 12.5 years in prison, depending on whether or not injuries occurred or the offense involved a deadly weapon. If you are in this position, remain silent and contact your lawyer immediately.

It is essential to let your lawyer handle all aspects of your case so they can advocate for a better outcome. A conviction for aggravated assault can wreak havoc on your life, and your lawyer will work diligently to make sure your liberties are not threatened. Your lawyer will also help prepare you for what to expect in your case and how to navigate collateral consequences you may face.

A Nogales Aggravated Assault Defense Attorney Can Effectively Fight the Charges Against You

Given the gravity of the charges against you, it is essential that you have a strong defense. Your lawyer will evaluate your situation to determine the most effective defense given the many factors and variables present in your case. Some common defenses that may be used against aggravated assault charges include:

Self–defense or defense of others: Used to demonstrate that an individual’s use of force was necessary to prevent imminent physical harm against themselves or others in the vicinity.
Lack of intent: Used when an individual has no intention or reason to cause harm or incite violence.
Mistaken identity: Used when a witness fails to correctly identify the person committing the crime, and it was someone other than you.
Unaware of the individual’s status in law enforcement: Used when an individual was not aware that the other person was a member of local or state law enforcement.
An alibi: Used to show that an individual could not have committed a crime because they were physically elsewhere at the time of the alleged offense.

Your lawyer will gather evidence to support your defense and resist the prosecution’s arguments. During discovery, your lawyer will review the charges, evidence, and statements from the prosecution and identify the strengths and weaknesses of their case. Your lawyer will use this information to leverage the flaws in the prosecution’s arguments and build a strong defense for you.
