Utah State law

Causing serious bodily injury is not a defence to an assault charge under this section — the conduct is instead charged as aggravated assault or another offence.

No penalty text for § 76-5-205 was read in session; the 2nd-degree classification is from secondary summaries and needs official re-check. Negligent homicide (§ 76-5-206) is a Class A misdemeanour (0–364 days, $0–$2,500) and automobile homicide (§ 76-5-207) is graded separately (Class A misdemeanour to 2nd degree felony depending on negligence/DUI).

Extreme emotional distress / reasonable-belief affirmative defence can reduce murder to manslaughter. Juveniles under 18 at the time of the offence may not be sentenced to life without parole (§ 76-3-209).

Imprisonment for the enhanced tiers is mandatory per § 76-3-406. Object rape (§ 76-5-402.2), forcible sodomy (§ 76-5-403), forcible sexual abuse (§ 76-5-404) and aggravated sexual assault (§ 76-5-405, 1st degree felony, 15 years–life or LWOP) carry parallel penalties and are not fully tiered here.

Aggravated robbery tier corroborated by secondary summaries only; confirm against the current Utah Code before relying on it.

Theft by deception (§ 76-6-405) is graded by the same § 76-6-412 value tiers. Civil treble damages may apply in addition to criminal penalties.

Criminal mischief (§ 76-6-106) covers tampering/endangerment and shooting at vehicles and uses the same value tiers. Value includes measurable loss of use and cost to replace/restore. Graffiti is charged under these sections.

Forgery tier verified from the official Utah Code PDF. Theft-by-deception tiers follow the § 76-6-412 value table (verified for theft). Sector-specific frauds (securities, insurance, Medicaid, welfare, mortgage) carry their own penalties and are not covered.

Look-back 7 years for prior drug convictions. Penalty increased by one degree if the actor has a prior drug-sale/manufacture conviction or the offence occurred in a jail/correctional facility. Corroborated by one secondary summary quoting the code; needs official re-check against the current Utah Code.

Firearm used/carried/possessed during a distribution or possession-with-intent offence: mandatory +1 year consecutive; court may add up to 5 years consecutive (§ 58-37-8(1)(c)). Drug-free-zone enhancements (e.g. near schools) are not tiered here.

If a higher penalty is provided in another section for the same weapon conduct, that section's penalty controls (§ 76-10-503(5)). Other weapons offences (e.g. possession of a deadly weapon with intent to assault § 76-10-507, possession of a dangerous weapon by a minor § 76-10-509, discharge offences) are not tiered here. Utah is a permitless-carry state for adults 21+ (and 18–20 with a provisional permit); lawful carry by non-restricted persons is not an offence.

Class tiers verified from the official bill text quoting § 41-6a-503. Mandatory minimum fines/jail days in tier notes are from a secondary summary (localduilaws.com) and need official re-check against § 41-6a-505. Separate offence per victim for bodily injury/serious bodily injury. Licence suspension/revocation, ignition interlock, screening/assessment and treatment are administrative/court-ordered consequences not included in the fine range.

Value for computer crimes includes measurable loss of use and cost to replace/restore. Authorised security testing and other affirmative defences are in § 76-6-703(4).
