Possibly. Depends on the situation. Two kids in high school, one 18 and the other 17, both roughhousing, no priors - probably not. 45 year old property owner surprised by a 17 year old burglar at 3am - probably not. 25 year old guy with priors and a 12 year old who sassed him - yes, that would be jail, at least, possibly prison.
"One minor" death threat?
1. Yes, they can be charged, if the District Attorney thinks he can prove that took place.
2. The person who made such a threat will probably do better at plea bargaining or sentencing if he does not refer to it as "one minor" death threat. That's kind of like saying it was just "one minor" beating.
More detailed information is needed. Just telling someone you're, "going to beat them up," does not rise to the level of an offense, unless there actually was pushing and shoving, or the threat is part of an ongoing pattern of intimidation.
Yes.
It is illegal for any type of abuse to be used against any minor under the age of
18. If any verbal abuse occurs that child has the right to do whatever it takes to defend themselves.
No, selfdefense is legal but it can't be more than that.
Yes they can.
Yes.
He will probably be charged as an adult and face trial for assault and battery.
They would be charged with assault. There is no difference in the laws for juvenile or adult offenders - - only in how they are treated in court.
You can charge them with harrasment. Or if they come at you with a weapon, like skateboard, rocks, knive, fistpacks, or any other object that can do harm to you, you can charge them with asult with a deadly weapon.
you will not get into trouble if you did not start it and you did not injure them badly... i know from experience lol...
Either assault or attempted murder. If you used a weapon it would be assault with a weapon/deadly weapon.
Usually for a person to be charged with this offense he must have an actual deadly weapon or device with which he could kill someone. A person could otherwise be charged with aggravated assault under the right circumstances.
Yes. Have fun
YES
Yes.
It depends on the type of assault (Simple - Sexual - Battery - Weapon - etc) and the age of the minor. Assault is 'assault' no matter the age of the victim but it can be enhanced by additional charges of cruelty to a minor - or similar type charge.
He will probably be charged as an adult and face trial for assault and battery.
She can be charged with Fraud, and if your "friend" is a minor juvenile, they could be charged with permitting an assault on the minor.
By her age she IS a minor - if that specific charge is an enhanced penalty offense in your state (i.e.- it is a greater offense to assault a minor than it is to assault an adult) then the assaulter COULD be charged with that offense.
The suspect was arrested and charged with felonious assault after attacking a bystander with a weapon.
Usually the mandatory sentence one could expect to get if charged with assault with a deadly weapon is one to twenty years in jail. Circumstances surrounding the case can give more concrete information about the length of the sentence.
