Types of Assault

The State of Colorado has established three degrees of assault. There are a variety of factors which will be used to determine the class of assault you are charged with, including the nature of injuries inflicted, whether there was intent to injure, whether a weapon was used, and the identity of the victim.

The three classes of assault are:

• 3rd Degree Assault – This is the least serious assault charge. It is a misdemeanor and generally occurs when only pain or very minor injuries are inflicted.
• 2nd Degree Assault – This is a more serious charge and is considered a felony offense. You will be charged with 2nd degree assault if you knowingly inflict a serious injury on the victim. Generally, there must be intent to injure to be charged with 2nd degree assault.
• 1st Degree Assault – This is the most serious assault charge, and it is also a felony. First degree assault is committed if you intended to inflict bodily harm and used a deadly weapon.

Penalties for Assault

The penalties for an assault conviction can be very harsh:

• 3rd Degree Assault – Up to 2 years in jail
• 2nd Degree Assault – Mandatory sentence of 5-16 years in prison
• 1st Degree Assault – Mandatory sentence of 10-32 years in prison
