Assault with a Deadly Weapon

An assault with a deadly weapon (ADW) charge is what is known in the legal field as a “wobbler,” and, essentially, what this means is that the type of charge that is brought against an offender (felony or misdemeanor) and its related consequences will always be determined based upon the details of the commission of the crime.

Factors such as the type of weapon used and its potential to actually inflict harm are always considered whenever an ADW charge is made. And that is because these elements, in conjunction with the victim’s perception of their actual vulnerability to violent injury, play a pivotal role in the establishment of the charges that will be presented before the court.

An assault with a deadly weapon charge can be processed as either a felony or misdemeanor in the state of California, and the type of crime that an offender will face will be determined by the following:

The type of weapon or instrument that was brandished or implemented, during the commission of the crime whether or not the targeted individual or any other person was injured as a result of the assault
The severity of the injuries sustained by any victim of the ADW
The rank or status of the individual who sustained the injuries – assaults against “protected” persons such as policemen or firefighters will always result in more severe penalties

It is incredibly important to understand that an assault with a deadly weapon charge can be brought against an offender who has made use of any type of instrument that could be perceived as deadly or utilized in a manner that could inflict severe physical harm or death.

If a toy gun was utilized in the commission of an ADW, and the victim of the assault believed it was a real gun, the crime can be pursued as a felony.

If a broken beer bottle was brandished and used in a manner to elicit fear, the crime can be pursued as a felony.
