8.6 Assault With Intent to Commit Murder or Other Felony (18 U.S.C. Sec. 113(a)(1) and (2)) is a federal crime that involves the use of force or violence against another person while intending to commit a felony. It is a serious offense that carries heavy penalties including possible jail sentences. This crime consists of two basic elements: (1) an act of assault or battery, and (2) an intent to commit a felony. The act of assault or battery must be intentional and involve physical contact, or the threat of physical contact, with another person. The intent to commit a felony must be serious and deliberate, and the felony itself must be one that is punishable by more than one year in prison. There are two types of 8.6 Assault With Intent to Commit Murder or Other Felony (18 U.S.C. Sec. 113(a)(1) and (2)): (1) assault with intent to commit murder, and (2) assault with intent to commit another felony. Assault with intent to commit murder is a crime that involves an act of assault or battery with the intent to kill another person. Assault with intent to commit another felony involves an act of assault or battery with the intent to commit a felony other than murder. Both types of assault with intent to commit murder or other felony are punishable by up to twenty years in prison and significant fines. Additionally, a conviction of this crime may result in the loss of certain civil rights, such as the right to bear firearms.
