Well, the 1st degree assault is often a 10 year minimum mandatory prison sentence (10-32) if it is a crime of violence.

This is serious. IF you have been saving for a rainy day, it is Katrina in New Orleans.

For the 1st degree assault, he is facing mandatory prison. It is important any plea bargain not have a mandatory prison charge. Good luck.
