What You Need to Understand if You Are Charged With Assault
The simplest offenses that have to do with assault will only merit a fine, but the gravest ones can sentence a criminal to up to 99 years behind bars.
Moreover, assault charges can be based purely on even an oral threat.
Whichever the case may be, assault charges must be taken seriously – you need to know what your rights are whether you are being the one charged or doing the charging.
Types of Assault Charges
Simple assault – Injuries resulting from the assault are minor and no weapon was used to commit it
Verbal assault – Oral and non-physical in nature, resulting into psychological, mental, and/or emotional injury
Aggravated assault – Use of force against another individual as well as use of weapon
Physical assault – Typically committed prior to an attempt on murder, resulting into “grievous” physical harm
