Felony person crimes represent a category of serious criminal offenses that involve actual or threatened harm to individuals. These crimes carry severe penalties due to their violent nature and the significant impact they have on victims and society. Examples of felony person crimes include:
- Aggravated Assault: This crime involves attacking another person with the intent to cause severe bodily harm or using a deadly weapon during the assault. Under Oregon law, aggravated assault is often classified as a Measure 11 offense, which mandates minimum sentencing. This can range from five to ten years in prison depending on the specifics of the case.
- Robbery: In Oregon, robbery is classified into degrees with increasing severity and penalties. First-degree robbery, involving the use or threat of force alongside a deadly weapon, is considered a Measure 11 offense, requiring a minimum sentence of seven and a half years.
- Manslaughter: This includes both voluntary and involuntary manslaughter, where the former refers to the intentional causing of death under circumstances that do not amount to murder (due to provocation or diminished capacity), and the latter typically involves unintentional death as a result of reckless behavior. Penalties can be extensive, involving lengthy prison terms.
- Murder: The most severe of felony person crimes, murder involves the intentional killing of another person. Under Oregon law, murder is a Measure 11 crime, which could result in life imprisonment with a minimum of 25 years before parole eligibility.
