A crime of violence conviction has serious consequences and carries mandatory minimum sentences to the Department of corrections. In some cases, the district attorney has to charge the crime of violence for the charge to be designated a crime of violence. The use of a weapon during a criminal episode in most cases makes the crime one of violence.
A major hurdle in these types of cases is often the victim or the victim’s family. Colorado has a victim bill of rights that mandates victim notification and input in the criminal process. District Attorneys have to inform victims at all stages of the case regarding bond conditions, plea discussions, and plea offers. The victim notification process makes it very important to communicate with the prosecutor handling the matter early on in the process with investigation, mitigation, and issues that may not be obvious. The victim’s bill of rights often changes the dynamics in cases involving violent crimes.
