Answer 1

If a person is charged with assault with indent to commit great bodily harm it depends on the circumstances under which the assault took place as to whether it's a first, second or third degree felony. If the attacking person was doing so to protect himself or someone with him the chances of it being made a misdemeanor are very good, or even having the case dismissed as self defense, if not, he's looking at a felony. I truly hope all goes well for your BIL.

Answer 2

Yes, attempted assault with intent to do great bodily harm sounds like it would be a felony. Will the DA's office attempt to prosecute? That depends on whether they think there is sufficient evidence to prove guilt beyond reasonable doubt. Who was involved? Were there witnesses or other forms of objective proof, other than your brother-in-law's side of the story and whoever else was involved? Was the intended victim hurt? Was a weapon used? Were threats made on other occassions? In front of witnesses? In writing or by email? Were the police called? Was there provocation for the attack? Was liquor or drugs involved? If your brother-in-law is the possible defendant, he should obtain legal counsel before making a statement to the police.

Answer 3

If you can be sentenced for 1 year yes. And I believe you can for that. not pos though. that depends on the criminal history. It is almost always possible to plead to a lesser charge.

Answer 4

Well I think so!
