FlagOne prior arrest adudication withheld, "victim" is grandmother(who is crazy) defendant is 20 yrs old with very low IQ (documented). Also interested in what if any bond might be assesed? I know that bond is up to the judge.
It is very hard to determine what "time" the person faces based upon your questions. We do not have enough information. Factors to determine what possible sentence the defendant is facing can include prior history, victim' s desires, whether there was great bodily injury to the victim, specific evidence of proof or lack thereof, prosecutor, judge and perhaps who you hire as a criminal attorney. I could give you a general answer about the maximum time but that is usually not going to be potential sentence. Contact a local lawyer and bring in the police report and see what the lawyer advises.
Aggravated battery scores a minimum of 21 months florida state prison with a maximum of 15 years. That is if you plea the case or lose at trial. There are defenses and mitigation available so sentence could be anywhere from nothing if you win to 15 years fsp if you lose. Hire someone who is not a plea lawyer otherwise your friend/family member will end up in prison.
