AGGRAVATED BATTERY
In Illinois, an individual may be charged with and found guilty of aggravated battery if he commits a battery (other than by the discharge of a firearm), and knowingly causes great bodily harm, permanent disability, or disfigurement to another individual in the course of the battery.
​
Charges of aggravated battery involve severe consequences. Legal counsel is needed very early on in the proceedings. When facing a prosecution for a crime such as aggravated battery a strong defense is needed from the outset in order to possibly stay out of prison. Call Wachnik Law LLC today at 847-892-5060.
ATTEMPTED FIRST DEGREE MURDER AND HOMICIDE OFFENSES
Attempted First Degree Murder (720 ILCS 5/8-4(a) (720 5/9-1(a)(1)) is a charge or offense in which the suspect is charged with attempting (but not succeeding) to kill another person. In most cases, this crime involves the firing of a handgun. That being said, many individuals are charged with Attempted Murder with a knife or other dangerous weapon. The base penalty for this crime is 6-30 years in prison.
If a gun is used, an additional 15-25 years can be added to the sentence. If the victim is a police officer, the range of sentence is 20-80 years in the Illinois Department of Corrections. Attempted murder is a difficult offense for the prosecutor to prove. This is because he must prove that the suspect had the actual desire to bring about the death of the alleged victim.
