Physical Assault Lawyer
Assault & Battery
An assault is any unlawful attempt or offer with force or violence to do bodily
harm to another, whether from ill will or extreme carelessness; for example, by
striking at or holding up the fist at a person in a threatening or insulting
manner, or with other circumstances that evidence an intention, coupled with a
present ability, of actual violence against the person, such as by pointing a
weapon at him when he is within reach of it. When the injury is actually
inflicted, it amounts to a battery.
Assault and battery is the combination of the crimes of threat (assault) and
actual beating (battery).
An assault is:
An unlawful attempt, coupled with apparent ability, to commit a violent injury
on the person of another; or
An intentional, unlawful threat by word or act to do violence to the person of
another, coupled with an apparent ability to do so, and doing some act which
creates a well-founded fear in such other person that such violence is
imminent.
A battery is any:
Willful and unlawful use of force or violence upon the person of
another; or
Actual, intentional and unlawful touching or striking of another person against
the will of the other; or
Unlawfully and intentionally causing bodily harm to an individual.
Violent
offenses are overwhelmingly committed by males. There are a number of factors
that are analyzed in studying offender characteristics and different studies
use different characteristics as the basis of the study. Such characteristics
include, among others, age, race, gender, location, parental involvement,
education, past criminal history, drug/alcohol use, and mental illness.

In
some situations, it may be difficult for the prosecution to pursue or prove a
assault and battery case. This is due to the fact that the intent of the
defendant is a key part of the charges. To be convicted of committing some type
of assault and battery, the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt
that the defendant intentionally made the attempt to or actually assaulted and
battered others. If an assault and battery case goes to court, there is often
no recovery of losses for the plaintiff because a judgment is ordered. The
judgment can often include jail time, making recovery of losses very difficult.
Settling out of court is the most beneficial option for both parties; the
plaintiff has a better chance of recovering losses and the accused can avoid
serving time in jail or prison.

can use to challenge the assault and battery charges. It is important to act
quickly to involve a legal professional who can properly assert rights and act

Assault with a Deadly Weapon
Assault
with a deadly weapon may involve intentional or reckless serious physical
injury to another person, or physical injury to any person by means of a deadly
weapon or a dangerous instrument. It may involve interfering with a police
officer, emergency responder, or teacher, while performing their duties. The
following is an example of a state statute (Connecticut) on assault in the
second degree: Conn. Gen. Stat. § 53a-60. A person is guilty of assault in the
second degree when: a. with intent to cause serious physical injury to another
person, he causes such injury to such person or to a third person; b. with
intent to cause physical injury to another person, he causes such injury to
such person or to a third person by means of a deadly weapon or a dangerous instrument
other than by means of the discharge of a firearm; c. he recklessly causes
serious physical injury to another person by means of a deadly weapon or a
dangerous instrument; d. for a purpose other than lawful medical or therapeutic
treatment, he intentionally causes stupor, unconsciousness or other physical
impairment or injury to another person by administering to such person, without
his consent, a drug, substance or preparation capable of producing the same; or
- he is a parolee from a correctional institution and with intent to cause
physical injury to an employee or member of the Extended Supervision Board, he or
she causes physical injury to such employee or member.

Child Abuse
Child
abuse encompasses physical child abuse, sexual child abuse, emotional abuse,
neglect, Shaken Baby Syndrome, and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Although the
statutes governing juvenile or family court and the mandatory reporting of
child maltreatment are the primary laws that protect abused and neglected
children, the majority of States are moving toward greater protection of
children by specifically including child victims in their domestic violence
definitions. The majority of states require that a special relationship exist
between the child victim and the abuser. For example, some states include a
minor child of a household member when the defendant is an adult household
member, while others include a child of a spouse, a child of a respondent, or
any child of a party. A few states extend protection to any child residing in
the household. Certain jurisdictions also specifically include foster children,
stepchildren, and grandchildren. Many jurisdictions just specify that children
are covered. Although not explicitly listing children as persons intended to be
protected, some additional states cover household members related by blood or
marriage, persons residing in the same household, and persons living in the
same domicile.
Domestic violence definitions also identify the prohibited abusive conduct
committed toward children. Such behavior usually includes physical, sexual, and
emotional attacks against a child. It may also involve stalking, threatening,
harassing and placing a child in fear of physical harm. Many states, however,
do not specify the amount or extent of violence required by the perpetrator.
Some state statutes provide that a single act of domestic violence can suffice.
A few states also provide exemptions for certain acts or omissions in their
definitions of domestic violence. For example, in several jurisdictions,
corporal discipline of a child by a parent or guardian for disciplinary
purposes does not constitute domestic violence when the discipline is reasonable.
Federal legislation provides a foundation for states by identifying a minimum
set of acts or behaviors that define child abuse and neglect. The Federal Child
Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA), (42 U.S.C.A. §5106g), as amended by
the Keeping Children and Families Safe Act of 2003, defines child abuse and
neglect as, at minimum:
Any recent act or failure to act on the part of a parent or
caretaker which results in death, serious physical or emotional harm, sexual
abuse or exploitation; or
An act or failure to act which presents an imminent risk of
serious harm.
Within the minimum standards set by CAPTA, each state is responsible for
providing its own definitions of child abuse and neglect. Most states recognize
four major types of maltreatment: neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and
emotional abuse.
The following is an example of a Federal Statute defining Child Abuse:
According to 42 USCS § 5119c(3) [Title 42. The Public Health and Welfare;
Chapter 67. Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment and Adoption Reform; Child
Abuse Crime Information and Background Checks] the term “child abuse
crime” means “a crime committed under any law of a State that involves the
physical or mental injury, sexual abuse or exploitation, negligent treatment,
or maltreatment of a child by any person.”

Domestic violence is generally defined the crime of assault where the victim is
a current or former spouse, parent, child, any person with whom the defendant
has a child in common, a present or former household member, or a person who
has or had a dating or engagement relationship with the defendant. A person may
often be arrested for domestic violence without a warrant.
If a person abused by domestic violence decides not to have the abuser
arrested, they may ask for a civil protective order that may order the abuser
to stay away from and stop assaulting the person. Injunctions may also be
issued to prevent the abuser from trespassing on certain property. The order is
only effective if it has been served on the abuser.

A hate crime is usually defined by state law as one that involves threats,
harassment, or physical harm and is motivated by prejudice against someone’s
race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, sexual orientation or
physical or mental disability. Laws vary by state and if hate crimes are
provided for by statute, the definitions of hate crimes and penalties imposed
vary. States that have hate crime statutes provide harsher penalties for such
offenses. The underlying criminal offenses that are designated in hate crime
laws include, but are not limited to, crimes against persons like harassment,
terroristic threats, assault and crimes against property like criminal
trespass, criminal mischief and arson. It may also include vandalism causing
damage to a church, synagogue, cemetery, mortuary, memorial to the dead,
school, educational facility, community center, municipal building, courthouse,
juvenile detention center, grounds surrounding such places or personal property
located within such places.
The current federal law regarding hate crimes deals with crimes where the
offender is motivated by bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual
orientation, or ethnicity/national origin and only applies if the crime happens
when a person is attending a public school or is at work or participating in
one of four other “federally protected activities.”
The following is an example of a state statute governing hate crimes: The
Legislature finds and declares the following:
It is the right of every person, regardless of race, color, religion, national
origin, ethnicity, or physical or mental disability, to be secure and protected
from threats of reasonable fear, intimidation, harassment, and physical harm
caused by activities of groups and individuals.
It is not the intent, by enactment of this section, to interfere with the
exercise of rights protected by the Constitution of the State of Alabama or the
United States.
The intentional advocacy of unlawful acts by groups or individuals against
other persons or groups and bodily injury or death to persons is not
constitutionally protected when violence or civil disorder is imminent, and poses
a threat to public order and safety, and such conduct should be subjected to
criminal sanctions. The purpose of this section is to impose additional
penalties where it is shown that a perpetrator committing the underlying
offense was motivated by the victim’s actual or perceived race, color,
religion, national origin, ethnicity, or physical or mental disability. A
person who has been found guilty of a crime, the commission of which was shown
beyond a reasonable doubt to have been motivated by the victim’s actual or
perceived race, color, religion, national origin, ethnicity, or physical or
mental disability, shall be punished as follows:
Felonies:
On conviction of a Class A felony that was found to have been
motivated by the victim’s actual or perceived race, color, religion, national
origin, ethnicity, or physical or mental disability, the sentence shall not be
less than 15 years.
On conviction of a Class B felony that was found to have been
motivated by the victim’s actual or perceived race, color, religion, national
origin, ethnicity, or physical or mental disability, the sentence shall not be
less than 10 years.
On conviction of a Class C felony that was found to have been
motivated by the victim’s actual or perceived race, color, religion, national
origin, ethnicity, or physical or mental disability, the sentence shall not be
less than two year
- For purposes of this
subdivision, a criminal defendant who has been previously convicted of any
felony and receives an enhanced sentence pursuant to this section is also
subject to enhanced punishment under the Alabama Habitual Felony Offender Act,
Section 13A-5-9.
Misdemeanors:
On conviction of a misdemeanor which was found beyond a reasonable
doubt to have been motivated by the victim’s actual or perceived race, color,
religion, national origin, ethnicity, or physical or mental disability, the
defendant shall be sentenced for a Class A misdemeanor, except that the
defendant shall be sentenced to a minimum of three months.

Homicide is the killing of a human being due to the act or failure to act of
another. Criminal homicides include murder and manslaughter. Non-criminal
homicides include killing in self-defense, a misadventure like a hunting
accident or automobile wreck without a violation of law like reckless driving,
or legal (government) execution. Suicide is a homicide, but is rarely
prosecuted. Assisting or attempting suicide can be a crime.
Homicides can be classified as follows;
- Justifiable Homicides —
these are “no fault” homicides. They ordinarily involve the death of
someone under circumstances of necessity or duty (commanded or authorized by
law). Examples would be self-defense, capital punishment, and police shootings.
- Excusable Homicides —
these are misadventures, accidents, or acts of insanity. They ordinarily
involve acts of civil fault, error, or omission.
- 1st Degree Criminal
Homicide – These are acts involving the death of someone in
“cold-blood” or by “lying in wait”. Also, the crime of
felony murder (someone dies during commission of a felony) is automatically 1st
degree homicide.
- 2nd Degree Criminal
Homicide – These are acts involving the death of someone in the “heat of
passion”. Heat of passion murder doesn’t require provocation, but it still
requires proof of intent. Voluntary Manslaughter — Manslaughter, in general,
involves acts involving the death of someone without premeditation, but acting
in “sudden passion”.
- Involuntary Manslaughter
– This is the crime of Criminal Negligence, sometimes called misdemeanor
manslaughter. It typically involves the careless use of firearms, explosives,
animals, medicine, trains, planes, ships, and automobiles. Many states have
created out a separate category called Vehicular Manslaughter for cases
involving automobiles.
