Your did not die, so there will be no manslaughter charges.  Possible charges might include assault, battery and even attempted murder in extreme cases.  Criminal laws vary from state to state, so additional charges might be possible depending on the laws where the incident occurred.

i am not an expert but i think it depends.  i slapped my ex husband, who is a cop, and he said he could have filed assault class a/family violence on me.

yes, the same applies is doing the commission of a crime one of the criminal get killed the other can also be charge with his death.\nThe innocent bystanders wasn't doing anything so they will have a case

Was it a related charge?  ie 1st degree murder to 2nd degree murder?  Then there's no material change in the charges and it can proceed.  If they went from shoplifting to assault and battery though they'd have to give time to prepare a defense to that since that was not the orginial charge.

Yeah, they can pretty much do what ever they want. Right now my brother is sitting in jail because an officer said he kicked a car door into his leg. This is considered assault on an officer, and that is a felony. If he is convicted he could serve 2 to 10 years. It sucks because we can't do anything about it, and it is all because this officer wants to lie.

It might mean that the charges can go up a degree if the injury is incapacitating. For instance if he was charged with simple assault but the victim turns out to have a broken bone then it could be changed to aggravated assault. I'm sure you want to defend your boyfriend but unless you were there don't assume that he was an innocent bystander. He can file counter complaints against mom and sis if they assautled him as well,but usually domestic violence cases are investigated so that the aggressor is the one arrested/charged, even though both sides may have thrown punches.

Ask you attorney or look in the your state's penal code book.

You could be charged with assault and battery, or simple assault, disturbing the peace, there's all kinds of things they could charge. Depends on the the factors,ie, did someone end up dead or unconscious, in the hospital? You could in all probability end up doing time. Be smart, learn to control yourself.

Yes he could be charged.  Everyone could have just walked away, so self-defense is not an issue.  Why did the guy faint after being slapped was he old?

Is there anyway he can file a police report. If he "FRIEND" ripped him off while the poor guy was laying in the hospital he deserves to be locked up. Plus with the police report stating the the chair was stolen the insurance company may buy him a new one

I am glad no one is hurt.  The charges are serious.  But it is better to take care of it now versus later.  You might not be able to drive for sometime after this case.  You can request for a public defender since this case involves the possibility of jail time.

You have to foot the bill with your insurance company.  The best you can do is file a "request for restitution" for the amount of your deductable if someone is charged later for the offense.

No.  If the injury was caused by him punching an object.  However if a box fell on him or whatever... possible.\n\nI would hope that a friend wouldn't do that to you.  But he would have to prove to the court that the injury was due to your negligence.

The police can charge you with whatever they want.\n\nAnd, you can sue whomever for whatever you want.\n\nThe court will decide the issue, so it is up to the court whether there is a valid complaint.\n\nYahoo answers is not a court, so asking on Yahoo answers about the outcome of a trial is pointless.

THERE WOULD JUST BE A FINE IMPOSED, 10 DAYS-JAIL TIME & 60 HOURS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE DEPENDING ON STATE YOU RESIDE IN, POSSIBLY; MAYBE THE FAMILY MEMBER COULD/WOULD DROP THE CHARGES & JUST A FINE; AGGRAVATED ASSAULT IS PRETTY SERIOUS THOUGH..HOPE THINGS CAN BE WORKED OUT, MAYBE THE ASSAULTER NEEDS SOME COUNSELLING.

Had the same situation happen to me.  I broke up a fight and was charged with battery.\n\nEverything was dropped once sanity was restored though.  As long as you didn't bash anybody too severely and backed off as soon as things were stopped you should be good.

You were in the car, why didn't you just drive away?\n\nYou were charged with a crime because you could've just driven away yet you decided to get out and beat these guys with weapons.  Thats use of excessive force, you're only allowed to defend yourself with the same amount of force that you were attacked with.  If you go to jail you deserve it.\n\nYou couldn't ram a car which is a piece of property???????\n\nWhat world do you live in, this is in no way acceptable behavior.  If you had a car and all of these weapons on you you probably had a cell phone too.  Why didn't you call the cops?\n\nYou didn't drive off because you were afraid of being called a punk, right?  You deserved to go to jail for longer than just 30 days or whatever you said.  \nYou gave a guy brain damage, broke a guys ribs, and left a guy with permanent nerve damage in his arm, what makes you think you aren't liable.
