What Constitutes A Violent Crime In Minnesota?
Minnesota Statute 624.712 defines what is considered a “crime of violence.” This statute includes a range of offenses, some of which are obvious, while others may surprise you.
Obvious violent crimes:
- Murder in any form
- Assault
- Robbery
- Kidnapping
- False imprisonment
- Residential burglary
- Arson
- Criminal sexual conduct
- Malicious punishment of a child
- Child neglect or endangerment
- Simple possession of a controlled substance
- Theft of a motor vehicle
No matter what type of charge you are facing, our attorney will take the time to learn about all the details surrounding your case, develop a personalized strategy to defend you and keep in constant contact with you throughout the defense process.
Consequences Of A Violent Crime Conviction
Depending on the nature of your charges, the consequences of a conviction can be more severe. A conviction for any of these offenses can have serious repercussions, including:
- Incarceration: You could face jail or prison time.
- Firearm possession: Your right to possess a firearm would be affected. Possessing a firearm after a conviction for a crime of violence can lead to an additional charge of ineligible person in possession of a firearm, which carries a mandatory sentence of 60 months in prison.
- Immigration issues: Violent crimes are classified as “crimes of moral turpitude” under U.S. immigration law, potentially leading to indefinite incarceration pending deportation, even without a conviction.
As your legal representation, our lawyer will explore all opportunities to minimize your charges, beat them in court, or seek a dismissal to defend your rights and freedom.
