Not attempted murder? Oh well, the bail sounds pretty high anyway. Maybe he’ll end up serving a month in jail.
$200,000 bail is a whopping amount. He has at least 2 serious felony charges which are serious. Plea bargaining down is likely to get him 5 years probation, 60 days in county, plus $20,000 fine, and some re-education classes
Here is the applicable CA Penal Code Section:
California Penal Code 245a1 - Assault with a Deadly Weapon (ADW)
Assault with a Deadly Weapon
PC 245(a)(1) reads: “Any person who commits an assault upon the person of another with a deadly weapon or instrument other than a firearm shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or four years, or in a county jail for not exceeding one year, or by a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars ...
Carrying a loaded gun at the same time adds an additional year to the total sentence. (PC 12022)
It will be interesting what this guy gets, but I doubt it’s going to be as little as 60 days in the county jail. Worst case it could be as long as five years.
