A conviction for domestic violence is permanently added to your criminal record and does not automatically come off after completing probation or even after a predetermined amount of time. A conviction for domestic violence is just that, a conviction on your permanent record.
A domestic violence conviction could land you in jail for up to 93 days for a first offense and hundreds in fines and costs. A second offense is punishable by up to a year in the county jail and the fine could be as much as $1,000.00 not to mention the added costs. A third offense is a felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison and up to $5,000.00 in fines.
Domestic violence is an assaultive crime and those crimes are usually considered more heinous than other offenses because they involve a victim.
The prosecuting attorney must prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. In Taylor the prosecutor will be either the city attorney or the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office.
For a conviction of domestic violence the prosecutor must prove that you assaulted or battered someone that you live with, are related to, or are in a relationship with. The prosecutor also has to prove that you were not acting in self-defense.
Domestic Violence Makes it Illegal to Possess a Gun
A domestic violence conviction means that you lose your ability to carry a gun under 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(9) and US v. Castleman, 134 S. Ct. 1405 – Supreme Court 2014. 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(9) states any person who has been convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence cannot possess a firearm or ammunition.
It was important to our client that he legally be allowed to carry a gun in order for advancement in his career.
