Assault and battery charges can arise from allegations involving threats, attempted use of unlawful force, or actual unlawful physical contact with another person. Under California law, assault and battery are separate offenses, and the seriousness of the charges can depend on the alleged conduct, injuries, use of a weapon, and relationship between the people involved.
A conviction may result in fines, probation, jail time, restraining orders, and potential restrictions on firearm possession. Because the prosecution must prove the required elements of the offense, a defense attorney can examine witness statements, video evidence, photographs, medical records, and other evidence to identify weaknesses in the case.
