What can he do to lower his punishment. He's already agreed to confess if he is charged(the guy he shot called the cops but they havnt talked to my friend yet cause he went to work, but they told me they would talk to him later.)
Answers:
The most he can get? I would charge it as assault in the third degree here if the other person wasn't injured. Max punishment is a year. But probably a fine and probation.
for a violent assault with a weapon that will easily be 2 years in a medium maximum security prison. Hope your friend isn't white, has a 300+ bench press, or is affiliated with a gang. Otherwise he's gonna be wearing koolaid lipstick while performing services for melvin.
My guess would be assault with a deadly weapon. As far as getting the punishment reduced, having a good record and an even better lawyer to help obtain a plea bargain would be helpful. Good luck to your friend.
was it an accident or intentional that is the primary thing. my son shot someone in the eye with a bb gun and got no charges he was 19 at the time
He could be charged with assault involving a weapon. Penalty would be imposed by the courts. Anywhere from a fine, to community service, to jail or prison time.
No one can possibly give you a definitive answer here because you never said the state you are in and that bears a lot on the answer.
felony assault of some kind. he could do time
