jail sentences.? I am curious about the maximum time for assault (I heard 18 months). Also assault with a weapon/aggravated assault. And also forceible confinement. These charges are all at one time? Does anybody roughly know how long someone whould serve for these charges, There was many others but they were dropped when he plea bargained. Also when in jail before court date is it still considered dead time, therefore the days are considered 2 for 1.
