Understanding Violent Crime Charges in Arizona
Violent crimes often involve using an object to threaten or inflict harm on another person. In general, assault is defined as an attempt to injure someone, while battery is the actual use of force against a person. If the assault is directed against a spouse or someone who lives in the same house, then it will be classified as domestic violence. Vehicular assault, often charged in correlation with DUI, occurs when someone intentionally or recklessly injures another person with a motor vehicle.
Homicide charges include first and second-degree murder, manslaughter, and negligent homicide. First and second-degree murder charges are Class 1 felonies, while manslaughter is a Class 2 felony. Negligent homicide is often charged as a Class 4 felony offense. These charges carry some of the most severe penalties, including the death sentence or life in prison without parole, depending on the circumstances.
