If you live in North Carolina and get arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and intent to kill, how much time could you get?

Well, without more details concerning the specific charge, I can tell you this: If a serious injury was inflicted with intent to kill: Class C felony (4 years and 10 months to 17 years and 7 months in prison). If a serious injury was inflicted without intent to kill: Class E felony (1 year and 8 months to 6 years and 8 months in prison). If no was injury inflicted with intent to kill: Class E felony (1 year and 8 months to 6 years and 8 months in prison). Either way, he needs to contact an attorney ASAP or get court-appointed counsel.

AWDWIKISI (“Assault with a Deadly Weapon with Intent to Kill Inflicting Serious Injury”) is a Class C felony punishable by roughly 5 years on the low end of the presumptive range for a Level 1 (no criminal history) and up to about 15 years for someone with significant criminal history. I'd need to know how many prior record points he has to give a more specific answer. Note, however, that just because he's charged that way doesn't mean that he will necessarily be convicted of the charge - he could win at trial, or he could take a plea (if one is offered) to a lesser charge. Unless extraordinary mitigation is found, the punishment is a mandatory active sentence – meaning prison time – and no probation is permitted. He needs a good lawyer.

I agree with both answers. He needs to find an experienced criminal defense attorney. Below is a link to the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers’ “Find a Lawyer” page.
