Assault and battery are serious offenses that involve threats or acts of physical violence. While often mentioned together, they represent distinct actions under the law.
Assault typically refers to the threat or attempt to inflict harm, creating a reasonable fear of imminent injury in the victim.
Battery, on the other hand, involves actual physical contact or harm.
Both charges carry severe legal consequences and can significantly impact your future.
