If someone pressed charges for assault on you but during the fight hit you too, can you press charges back?
Q. Like say they don't really know who started it but both sides are saying the other person started it. One person has already pressed charges can i press assault charges on them too since no one knows who started it and we both got hits in?

how do I plead if simple assault charges are against me and the victim wants to drop said charges?
Q. I turned myself in after a warrant for my arrest was processed for simple assault. the person that pressed these charges wants to drop them during court. how do I plead when they call my name? guilty? not guilty?

A. It is not up to you, domestic assault charges are laid by the crown prosecutor on advice from the police. If there is sufficient evidence to charge the defendant, then they will proceed. What you want has nothing to do with the charges. Edit - you do not want to be with any guy who thinks that even a possible hint of violence is acceptable. You need to gather up your self respect and find someone better, who loves you and thinks you are the most fabulous person on the planet. Move on. Head high, with self respect and dignity.

Asked by SwaY - Wed Oct 7 21:14:14 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Sometimes when it is just one persons word against another, they try to scare a person into confessing. But ultimately it depends on who they believe more. And in some cases even if they don't officially charge you, the possibility that you did it alone could be enough to effect your career if documentation of the investigation goes in your record. They investigate all parties involved to find the truth. But yes I would recommend you file your own set of charges to clear your name. She can get in just as much trouble for filing a false report and wasting every ones time and resources.

Can they file assault charges if you were never read your rights?
Q. I was just wondering if the police/state could file charges on someone for harassment if they were never read their Miranda rights? I do not believe the person was arrested.
Asked by sublime - Fri May 30 03:55:55 2008 - - 9 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Yes, you can still be charged. Miranda has nothing to do with filing charges. Miranda only determines if the statements you make will be admissible in court. Miranda is only required when both of the following conditions exist: 1. You are in custody and not free to leave 2. You are being questioned about the crime you are in custody for. It does not apply to questions before the arrest, and it does not apply to statements you make that are not a result of a question.

A. quite simply, you are a fool. You will get a longer custodial sentence this time and to be honest it serves you right. If you cannot control yourself when you have been drinking, and know this, then don't drink to the extent that you lose control.

I want to drop domestic assault charges before it goes to court.?
Q. How likely is the District Attorney in TN to drop domestic charges on a first time offender where the assault occurred after his tour of duty (PTSD is likely the cause) and the victim doesnt want to proceed - the state pressed charges? How would the victim go about getting the charges dismissed? What is the MOST effective way? Call the police officer who pressed charges, the DA? etc. We are in TN. Thanks!
Asked by Hipstr - Mon Nov 23 16:50:07 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If the state pressed charges, then only the state can drop those charges, and arent obligated to do so. Call your local Non Emergency Police number. Look it up if you dont know it.

Asked by mario - Wed Nov 25 08:16:33 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. When you press charges against someone you are not responsible for any charges. The state where you live pays for the filing fees and court appearances. If you choose to sue in civil court and win once again the person whom you sue if they loose will be held responsible for court fees and costs.

Asked by gihae0401 - Tue Feb 12 23:53:30 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Do a search for your state's penal or criminal code, scroll to the sex offenses, and look it up. Most states have sites that list their code. I use them all the time in my work, as we get a lot of out of state offenders in my area and I have to look up what their priors are for to see how to charge them for new crimes. Example: If you are in Oregon, do a search "Oregon Revised Statutes sexual assault first degree." Once you do find the correct statute, it will often list a lot of different conduct.

A. Unfortunately, in domestic violence situations, once a report is made, it is not possible for the victim to drop the charges. However, if you refuse to testify, then there may not be enough evidence for the state to proceed, and the case will be thrown out.

Oh and the victim suffered 26 stiches on his eye and a broke ankle in 2 places.
Asked by Liz S - Tue Dec 16 23:44:18 2008 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Depends on the seriousness of the crime,if it was a weapon depending on the state it would be more serious. If it was only hands creating the injury it could be less sever.In California if it were a non weapon assault and a first offense, it could be anywhere from 0 to 12 months in jail.If their is a weapon involved depending on the seriousness of the persons injury you would be looking at state time in a penitentiary.It depends on the state your in to start out with.And also if the person committing the crime has prior convictions.If it's a first time offender it will usually go easy!
