Deadly Conduct - (Aggravated Assault Lesser Included Offense)
Posted on Nov 15, 2010 8:47am PST
If you've been charged with aggravated assault, keep in mind you may want to fight to get your charge down to Deadly Conduct.
Deadly conduct is a Class A misdemeanor, or a 3rd degree felony if you discharge a firearm at or in the direction of one or more individuals.
Deadly Conduct is a lesser included offense for Aggravated Assault, and is worth investigating as an option if your looking to make a deal.
However, its my opinion that you should always fight and never cop to a crime you didn't commit.
