Understanding Violent Crimes
Most violent crimes fall in one of four categories:
- Murder—defined as the intentional killing of one human being by another, the act of murder carries with it some of the most severe punishments under California law. If you have been accused of murder, which should not be confused with (a) deaths caused by negligence; (b) accident or suicide; (c) justifiable homicide; and (d) aggravated assaults (defined as attempts to murder or assaults to murder), you will need one of the most aggressive and knowledgeable criminal defense attorneys in the state of California—Ronald A. Ziff.
- Forcible Rape—defined as the carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will, in California, forcible rape also includes attempts or assaults to commit rape by force or threat of force. This California violent crime demands the expertise of a skilled criminal defense attorney, such as Ronald A. Ziff.
NOTE: Forcible rape does not include statutory rape (which is rape without force) and other sex offenses. - Robbery—the taking or attempting to take an item of value from the control, custody, or care of one or more persons using force or threat of force or violence and/or by putting the victim in fear. When larceny-theft occurs with aggravated assault, the offense is considered robbery.
- Aggravated Assault—a violent crime defined as an unlawful attack by one person upon another for the purpose of inflicting aggravated or severe bodily injury and is typically accompanied by the use of any means (i.e., weapons) likely to produce great bodily harm or even death. Attempted aggravated assault, that which involves the threat, use, or display of a knife, gun, or other weapon, is considered aggravated assault. When aggravated assault and larceny-theft occur together, the offense is considered robbery.
