Penalties for Violent Offenses in Tennessee
Violent offenses in Tennessee can result in either misdemeanor or felony charges. Assault, for example, is a Class B misdemeanor and can lead to a six-month jail sentence and a fine of up to $500. More severe violent offenses such as murder or kidnapping are considered felonies and can result in years in prison and tens of thousands of dollars in fines.
It is important to note that certain factors can enhance sentences for both misdemeanor and felony crimes. Repeat offenses can increase the severity of the penalties, as well as whether the defendant had a firearm, caused bodily harm, was on bail or parole at the time of the alleged offense, and more.
