Tennessee jail term for aggravated and reckless aggravated assault charges? First time offender?

Question

I have researched and cannot find any information on these charges. First time offenders, do they always get the book thrown at them or does it just depend?

Answer 1

This is from the state of Tennessee website which will show you the definitions of the crimes and the penalties---which will differ depending on the facts of the case.

Answer 2

It is the "reckless" that worries me.  An Aggravated Assault is pretty bad but a first timer can get lucky.   Do you know what the reckless refers to in this exact case (i know what it means in the law)?  I don't think you are going to get lucky.
