 When
a person is convicted of an assault or
battery criminal charge, they may not only be
awarded various fines or penalties, but also be left with a permanent
criminal history that may present obstacles such as finding
employment, or renting an apartment / home, or
education opportunities. A felony conviction will also result in the loss of
certain basic civil rights, such as
your right to vote, obtain or possess a passport,
sit on a jury, or own / possess a firearm... just to name a few.
An assault occurs when an action or a threat
places someone in imminent fear of a non-consensual
touching. Assault does not involve physical
contact. Defense of assault charges sometimes
include self-defense, defense of others, and defense
of property.
Battery
can be defined as an intentional act of harmful or
offensive touching of someone without permission.
Accidental contact, no matter how severe, is not
considered battery. To be charged with battery, the
person who was physically harmed does not have to
require medical treatment.

When law enforcement investigates allegations of assault
and/or battery, many times eyewitnesses may not have
observed the event in question from the start of the
altercation, reporting only what they
observed and who they perceived as the aggressor.
Since
law enforcement initially focuses on restoring
order, due attention is not always given to fully investigate the assault
and/or battery incident, sometimes resulting in the
arrest of an innocent person who acted in self defense
or was protecting another person.
An Assault and/or Battery crime may be charged as a
misdemeanor or felony crime, depending upon the evidence mounted against the
accused. If convicted of an assault or battery charge, the conviction may result
in:
Hefty fines
Lengthy terms of probation
Potential
jail or prison time
Community service
Forfeiture of certain basic civil
rights (for felony convictions)
