my cousin is being charged with the above charges. He was supposedly found with a gun shooting at a crowd . What type of time could he get if this is true and this is his first offense?

By First-Degree assault I'm assuming that you're referring to Assault with Deadly Weapon, as the 'weapon' is missing from the above charges, and it would be very unlike the DA's office to overlook that. All in all, he is facing serious time in jail, as the AWD charges are strikeable offenses in and of themselves. Consult with a criminal defense specialist as Atty Solis advised
