Oklahoma does not have a crime called "aggravated assault."
Assault in Oklahoma carries from 0 to 30 days in the county jail and up to a $500 fine.
Assault with a dangerous weapon in Oklahoma for a person with no prior felony convictions carries from 0 to 10 years and a fine up to $10,000
Aggravated Assault and Battery in Oklahoma for a person with no prior felony convictions carries 0 to 5 years and a fine up to $500.
Oklahoma does not have a crime called voluntary manslaughter. In Oklahoma the crime is called Manslaughter 1st Degree. For a person with no prior felony convictions this crime carries from 4 years to life and up to a $10,000 fine.
To calculate the punishment ranges for someone that has one or two or more prior felony convictions see 21 O.S. 51.1.
