1. Aggravated Assault

• Cases of aggravated assault are any time someone
  attempts to cause serious bodily harm to someone
  else without any regard for human life. Crimes
  that involve any type of physical attack are
  typically referred to as assault, battery, or
  assault and battery.
• You can be charged with two types of assault,
  simple and aggravated. The charge you will face
  depends on the severity of the harm that is done.
  Cases that need a aggravated assault lawyer in
  Atlanta are felonies that occur when a weapon is
  used or if there is the intention of committing
  some type of serious crime. Some examples of
  cases that would be considered aggravated assault
  include the following
• Assault that results in a serious physical injury
• Striking or the threat of striking a person using
  a weapon or some type of dangerous object
• Assault when concealing someones identity

2. Robbery

• Shooting someone using a gun or threatening
  someone while you point a gun at them
• Assault with the intention of committing other
  felony crimes, such as rape or robbery

Robbery occurs when you take someone elses
property by threat of force. Usually, robbery
means that someone took property or money with
the intention of keeping it, without consent from
the owner of the property, or by using
intimidation or force. The main difference
between theft and robbery is that robbery means
you take property from someone directly. The most
common type of robbery that occurs today in
Atlanta is those that occur in alleys or on
public streets.

3. Murder

• Murder is classified under the homicide umbrella
  and indicates the illegal killing of someone else
  with malice afterthought. Malice is a word that
  is defined as the knowledge and desire or
  intention to do something evil. Because of this,
  a malice afterthought takes place if one person
  kills someone else with the intention of doing
  something evil. You can be charged with either
  first-degree murder or second-degree murder. With
  first-degree murder, the act is premeditated, and
  with second-degree murder, it is not.

4. Aggravated Battery

• Criminal battery is a type of physical activity
  that is caused by offensive or harmful contact
  with someone else without their consent. Cases of
  the battery will turn into aggravated battery if
  the situation involves any type of serious bodily
  injury or someone using a dangerous weapon. Some
  of the types of injuries that may result in an
  aggravated battery charge include the loss of a
  body part, scarring, injuries that require
  extensive sutures, broken bones, surgery, or a
  coma.

5. Manslaughter

• There are also manslaughter charges, which is a
  third-degree murder charge. While manslaughter is
  also under the homicide umbrella, it involves the
  unintentional killing of someone else. Because of
  the intent behind these types of crimes, they are
  not treated as severely as a murder charge.
• Manslaughter can be either voluntary or
  involuntary. Voluntary cases of manslaughter
  occur when a person kills someone else with no
  premeditation. Usually, they are crimes that
  occur in the heat of passion. While the intent
  was to harm or kill someone, it was not
  premeditated.
• With involuntary manslaughter, a person is killed
  by actions that disregard another persons life.
  While theres no premeditation or intent to kill
  someone, death still occurs. Examples include
  discharging a firearm, abusing or using drugs,
  and texting and driving.
