- Q. Aggravated Assault with SBI - How many years incarcerated in PA if found guilty with a gravity score of 1?
- A: There isn't enough information to even make a educated guess. Many different circumstances and factors will be considered (or should be) by the Court when fashioning a reasonable sentence. The Court will consider that this is not a guilty plea (as your question points out "found guilty" indicating following a conviction at trial), the seriousness of the injuries and other facts and circumstances of the incident (weapons, ages, etc.), the history, family life, mental health, prior criminal history, other mitigating circumstances, rehabilitation needs of the defendant, protection of the community, what is needed to vindicate the authority of the court, and other relevant factors. PA criminal justice system uses the sentencing guidelines to get a suggested range for the minimum term of confinement before the person is eligible for parole; however, this is only a suggestion and the court can sentence outside that range. Also, there are potential enhancements, meaning certain specific factors that can increase the range, that if requested by the commonwealth and could be imposed in light of the incident, would have an impact. In addition, if the defendant was convicted of crimes in addition to the Agg Assault, the court could potentially impose consecutive sentences to increase the minimum length of incarceration. So as you can see, there would not be any way to provide you with an educated guess based on your question other than to say the defendant is likely to see some term of incarceration as opposed to a probationary only sentence.
- Q. I live in Pennsylvania and my 16 year old son took a bb gun with him to school. Can he get charged.
- A: Yes, a number of things can happen, including being charged with several crimes. i suggest you and your retain counsel immediately and do not speak with the police without an attorney.
- Q. I was pulled over in PA with marijuana and paraphernalia. What charges am I facing?
- A: Likely possession of both marijuana and paraphernalia. Depending on other circumstances, you could be facing additional charges. I suggest retaining an attorney to assist you and ensure any potential pentolites are kept at a minimum.
