FAQ
Maryland takes assault offenses very seriously. For a misdemeanor assault, the maximum penalty is 10 years. If it is a person's first offense, it is likely that they will end up with a period of supervised probation.
In Maryland, aggravated assault is considered a felony with a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison. Once someone serves their jail sentence, their penalties may also involve a serious and long term of probation.
Factors the Judge Considers Severity of the Crime: Serious offenses like violent crimes or drug distribution may lead to higher bail amounts or no bail at all. Criminal Record: A defendant with a prior criminal record, especially for similar offenses, is less likely to be granted bail.
If aggravating factors are present, the domestic violence offense becomes a felony. Aggravating factors may include a prior conviction for domestic violence or the fact that a victim is pregnant at the time of the assault.
There will typically always be some sort of probationary period associated with Maryland first degree assault penalties. The defendant may be asked to serve some active portion of incarceration. The rest of their sentence will be suspended and they will have to successfully complete a period of probation.
