Assault charges can range from physical altercations to unwanted touching and verbal abuse. Depending on the severity of injury to people and the level of pre-meditated conduct, it can lead to harsher sentences for the accused if found guilty. On the other hand, if there are circumstances mitigating the fault of the offending, such as self-defence or intoxication, this may help the accused avoid or have a reduced sentence. In this respect, seeking legal advice prior to being interviewed by police is important as what is said in the recorded interview can often make or break the police prosecution\u2019s case. Similarly, how your case is handled at the beginning of the case may also impact your case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
