Understanding Violent Crimes In Massachusetts

In Massachusetts, violent crimes encompass serious offenses, including:

• Murder: Intentionally killing another person premeditatedly or intentionally.
• Manslaughter: Causing the death of another person without premeditation, often in the heat of passion or through reckless behavior.
• Assault: An attempt to harm another person. These charges can escalate to aggravated assault if there are weapons involved or if the victim sustains serious injuries.
• Domestic violence: Physical harm, threats, or coercive behavior directed at a family or household member.

Understanding the specific charges against you is crucial, as each carries unique legal implications and serious consequences under Massachusetts law.

Steps To Take After Receiving A Violent Crimes Charge

If you are charged with a violent crime, immediate action is necessary. You must take the following steps:

1. Exercise your Miranda rights. You have the right to remain silent, retain legal counsel and have an attorney present during questioning.
2. Collect evidence or documentation that may support your defense, such as witness testimony, photographs or other documentation.
3. Most importantly, contact an attorney. The attorneys of Krasnoo, Klehm & Falkner LLP can guide you through the legal process and work to protect your rights from the outset.

The firm aims to help you pursue the outcomes you want out of your case.

Consequences Of A Violent Crimes Conviction

The penalties for violent crimes in Massachusetts can be severe. Violent crime charges tend to be exclusively felonies, so that the penalties can be exceptionally high. Convictions can result in:

• Long-term imprisonment (including life sentences)
• Expensive fines
• Loss of civil rights

These charges could also leave you with the standard consequences of having a criminal record, like difficulty securing employment and housing and, in some cases, losing the right to vote.
