Houston Criminal Attorney
Aggravated Crimes
An aggravated crime in Houston occurs as part of another crime and typically happens simultaneously or right after the other crime. There are numerous reasons for a crime to be elevated to an ‘aggravated crime’. The reasons for this vary according to the crime that has been committed.
The various factors that are considered when determining whether a crime was aggravated or not include:
- The use or threat of a weapon.
- Did the crime result in a bodily injury?
- Were threats made that involved a weapon?
In an aggravated murder, the circumstances are different. The factors above can still apply, but the specific situation as well as location will be deciding factors. One example of this would be a murder that takes place in prison. That location alone will mean the crime will be classified as ‘aggravated’.
