Criminal Obstruction of Breathing
The charge of criminal obstruction of breathing or blood circulation is a class A misdemeanor, which can result in jail time and/or probation. New York State defines the crime as the intent to impede the normal breathing or circulation of blood by applying pressure to the throat or neck or blocking the nose or mouth of another person. These charges usually result from domestic incidents between couples. The offense is considered a conviction involving domestic violence for certain purposes. It is important to hire an experienced lawyer to represent you against these charges because the crime doesn’t require any physical evidence. It can simply be one person's word against another’s.

Strangulation
In the case of physical evidence of strangulation, the charge is much more serious. Strangulation in the Second Degree is strangulation that causes stupor, loss of consciousness for any period of time, or any other physical injury or impairment. It’s a class D felony punishable by up to 7 years in jail. Strangulation in the First Degree is a class C felony that causes serious harm to an individual and is punishable by up to 15 years in jail.
Charges of strangulation in any form should not be taken lightly. Through investigation, negotiation, and preparation, it’s possible to have these charges dismissed or reduced. That’s why having a skilled NY defense attorney by your side is essential to defending yourself against accusations of domestic violence.
