This Winning Wednesday, we discussed criminal battery and covered both the ramifications of being charged with criminal battery and the legal avenues that recipients of violence have available. Some of the options we discussed were:
- Protections From Abuse
- No Contact
- Protection From Stalking
It can be scary and intimidating when we are in situations that call for legal intervention. By understanding the range of legal avenues before you, you can make the best decisions for yourself.
At its most basic level, battery is “the unwanted physical touch of another.” Battery often occurs between people who have a close relationship. A common misconception is that battery only happens to wives – but depending on the laws that apply where you live, domestic battery impacts husbands, roommates, someone you have children with, and many other types of relationships. The complexities of these relationships and how battery is determined is precisely why having a lawyer to advocate for you is critical.
