Jail Time. Assault in the third degree is an A misdemeanor, meaning that it is punishable by up to one year in jail, as per Penal Law Â§Â§ 60.01(3)(a) and 70.15(1) . In NYC, however, a first arrest for assault in the third degree will usually not result in any jail time. A conviction or plea to the charge of assault in the third degree could also result in probation for three years, pursuant to Penal Law Â§Â§ 60.01(2)(a)(i) and 65.00.
Section 20 Assault has a maximum sentence of 5 years imprisonment, and can even be dealt with in the Magistrates Court, although it is quite rare that the magistrates will prevent it from being transferred to the Crown Court.ection 18 Assault, on the other hand, can only ever be dealt with in the Crown Court, and can result in a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, although sentences of more than 10 years for Section 18 are rare. This is assault resulting in harm such as scratches, bruises etc.
