The legal penalties for a violent crime conviction will depend upon several factors, such as: the defendant’s prior criminal history, the type of crime committed, the extent of the victim’s injuries, and if a weapon was used during the commission of the crime. If a person is convicted of a violent crime, such as assault, he or she may be subject to jail time, fines, community service, probation, and legal fees.

There are also indirect consequences after the state punishment is over. With a violent crime conviction on your record, you might have limited educational and job opportunities. You might be able to get your record sealed or expunged, but that option is not available to everyone.
It is very important to speak
Violent crimes can also be challenged based on the investigative procedures that the police or law enforcement adopted during their investigation. Some courts frown upon forced confessions or suggestive photo line ups where victims or witnesses are unduly influenced in identifying a person as the perpetrator of an offense. The New Jersey criminal law firm of Aiello, Harris, Abate Law Group PC has successfully defended numerous clients that have been identified as the result of a faulty line-up.
