What Does Virginia Law Say About Malicious Wounding?

As a Class 3 felony, a conviction can mean up to 20 years in jail and up to $100,000 in fines. According to Virginia law, malicious wounding occurs when an individual “maliciously shoots, stabs, cuts, or wounds any person or by any means causes him bodily injury, with the intent to maim, disfigure, disable, or kill” (Va. Code 18.2-51). Defending this type of felony assault charge requires a skilled attorney with an unquestioned knowledge of criminal defense and the ability to protect his or her clients against even the most serious offenses.
