Malicious Wounding Charge Downgraded in Prince George, Virginia
Aggressive cross-examination of the complaining witness at a preliminary hearing in Prince George General District Court resulted in the charge being reduced from malicious wounding to unlawful wounding.
While the district court judge certified the lesser charge to the grand jury for indictment and trial, the defendant's potential penalty on the reduced charge is substatially less.
Malicious wounding is a Class 3 felony in Virginia, punishable by a term of imprisonment of not less than 5 years, nor more than 20 years.
Unlawful wounding is a Class 6 felony. The punishment for a Class 6 felony is less harsh, and more flexible. A person convicted of unlawful wounding faces a term of imprisonment of not less than one year nor more than five years, or in the discretion of the jury or the court trying the case without a jury, confinement in jail for not more than 12 months and a fine of not more than $2,500.
Depending upon the facts of the case, a person convicted of unlawful wounding may escape serving any time in jail or prison.
