VIOLENT CRIMES
Violent Crimes are often the most serious crimes charged by the State or the Federal Government. The criminal exposure for Violent Crimes is great and the possibility of lengthy prison sentences is real. The State and Federal government prosecute Violent Crimes to the fullest extent of the law. However, a rigorous defense can mitigate a defendant’s exposure and leverage a favorable resolution or plea to a charged Violent Crime.
In New Jersey, Violent Crimes are subject to the No Early Release Act (NERA). If a person is convicted of a violent crime in the first or second degree, they must serve at least 85% percent of their sentence. For example, a person sentenced to ten years in prison must serve 8.5 years before they are parole eligible. In some instances, an experienced criminal defense lawyer can help downgrade charges to avoid being subject to NERA.
Some of the most commonly charged violent crimes are:
-
Assault
-
Robbery
-
Domestic Violence
-
Death by Auto
-
Manslaughter
-
Murder & Homicide
-
Aggravated Sexual Assault
