 One
of the most common criminal charges in the State of Florida
includes assault and battery. While often referred to as
“Assault and Battery”, these are actually separate criminal
offenses.
-
Assault
occurs when an action or a
threat places someone in
imminent fear of violence.
Assault does not require
physical contact.
-
Battery
occurs when an individual
intentionally touches or
strikes another against
their will.
Assault and battery crimes often occur as a
result of the escalation of a disagreement between two or
more individuals, or in domestic disputes.

It is not
uncommon for
an individual who was defending another person or their own
personal safety to be the one facing assault and
battery charges. While being attacked or defending another
person, sometimes conditions are such that the attacker
does not leave any visible marks on the victim, while
the person acting in defense left visible mark on the
attacker. In the event there are a lack of witness to the
event, after assessing the facts and evidence immediately
available, law enforcement may deem it necessary to arrest the
person who inflicted visible signs of physical
aggression.
It is important to remember that an assault and battery
charge is considered a felony, which includes penalties
which are much more severe than that of a misdemeanor
criminal charge.
Depending upon the
charges a person may be facing, a criminal history, and any other special
circumstances, a
criminal conviction may result in:
Hefty fines;
Potential
jail or prison time;
Suspension of your driving privileges;
Community service;
Lengthy terms of probation;
Forfeiture of certain basic civil
rights.
