Protecting Your Rights in Assault and Battery Cases
What Defines Assault and Battery?
Although often grouped together, assault and battery are legally distinct:
- Assault: The threat or attempt to inflict harm without physical contact.
- Battery: The actual physical contact or use of force against another person without consent.
Both offenses can lead to severe penalties, including fines, jail time, and a permanent criminal record.
Common Defenses Against Assault and Battery Charges
To protect your rights, your defense attorney may explore various strategies, such as:
- Self-Defense: Demonstrating that you acted to protect yourself or others.
- Consent: Arguing that the alleged victim consented to the contact.
- False Accusation: Exposing inconsistencies or lack of evidence in the prosecution’s case.
- Mistaken Identity: Proving that you were not the individual involved in the incident.
