If my now ex-boyfriend pulled a gun on me and beat me up, what are the chances of him actually getting jail time?
Asked on May 02nd, 2017 on Criminal Law - Pennsylvania
More details to this question:
A few weeks ago my now ex-boyfriend pulled a gun on me and beat me up. Two of my friends witnessed it and his 7 year old daughter was sleeping in her bedroom when it happened. He's being charged with assault, harassment, and terroristic threats with the intent to harm someone. He doesn't have any priors besides being investigated my CPS. The ADA handling my case said he could get up to 7 years for the misdemeanors.
It really depends on his criminal history, and how his prior record score reads, to even guess if he will get probation, jail or anything in between. Additionally, the personality of the judge and how your boyfriend's attorney represents him.
