Answered . 784.021-1a(c) is aggravated assault, a 3rd degree felony punishable by up to 5 years in state prison.
812.014 2c1 is grand theft in the 3rd degree, also a felony punishable by up to 5 years in state prison.
The person faces a max of 10 years on these charges and should speak to a lawyer in person ( and not on the internet) about them.
There may or may not be viable defenses to the charges, affirmative or otherwise, or there may be factual, legal, procedural or substantive mechanisms by which to attack and beat the charges in this unique case, I do not know and the forum to find out is NOT on line; rather it is in the sanctity of attorney’s offices, where statements are privileged and cannot be used against anyone.
The best way to get competent advise is going to be to consult with an experienced and local criminal defense lawyer who can follow-up on the information with questions of her/his own, as well as review the police reports and whatever evidence that may be provided and then offer an informed opinion.
My advise: Get offline and into a skilled and experienced 954 area criminal defense lawyer’s office. Use the “Find a Lawyer” feature on AVVO to locate proximate lawyers, make an appointment, show up on time, bring whatever evidence, documents or witnesses that you may have, engage in a meaningful face-to-face consultation and get yourself some advise which is legally sound and has been custom tailored as possible to meet your specific reasonable needs in your unique case.
I hope that I have been helpful in answering your question.
First, second and third: No attorney-client relationship exists by virtue of any Q&A with Michael A. Haber, Esq. on Avvo. Fourth: Anything that you post on Avvo (or on similar sites) or on any social media is by its nature public. It is essentially an admission / confession and can be introduced into evidence as a statement against your interest in a subsequent legal proceeding. Once posted you lose any reasonable expectation of privacy, so, as this is an open forum (with no privilege attached), please be extra careful when considering what to post online (forewarned is forearmed.) less
The best way that you can help him is by connecting him with a local lawyer.
