Topic: Assault and battery



  
 [No title]
Assault and battery are also crimes prosecuted by the state; depending on the severity of the threat or touching, and whether or not a weapon is used, they are felonies with jail time to the accused upon conviction.
When assault and battery are treated as civil claims, damages are recovered after a victim commences a private lawsuit in court.
In civil law, assault and battery are commonly referred to as intentional torts.

 Criminal Law Assault & Battery
Not all cases of assault and battery are clear, so it is important to contact a criminal lawyer to represent you and make sure that your legal rights are respected and you are aware of all of your options.
Assault and battery against a spouse or someone with whom you share a home can result in criminal penalties, as well as restraining or protective orders that prevent the accused from returning to the home or seeing the person alleging the assault and battery.
Each assault and battery case is unique and different laws may apply, depending on whom is making the accusation, the past history of the person accused, and the circumstances surrounding the incident.

 United States v. Fernandez
At a minimum, assault and battery upon a police officer requires purposeful and unwelcomed contact with a person the defendant knows to be a law enforcement officer actually engaged in the performance of official duties.
Because we conclude that the Massachusetts crime of assault and battery on a police officer is, categorically, a crime of violence within the meaning of U.S.S.G. § 4B1.1, we need not address Fernández' contention that the trial judge's factual inquiry was inconsistent with the mandate of Taylor v.

In order for prosecution, some laws require proof of causality, relating the defendant's actions to the criminal event in question.
