Facing serious assault charges - need advice
You can read about the full circumstances of the situation in this thread if you're so inclined.
Basically, to cut a long story short, I kicked a guy in the balls outside a club after my friend had already beaten him up. Now I'm facing assault and battery charges and there were two witnesses present at the time of the incident. My friend wants to intimidate the witnesses into not testifying but we don't know where to find them.
I'm hoping to argue self defense on the basis that I felt the other gentleman was about to get up and resume attacking my friend after he turned his back on him. If not, I'm considering asking for leniency on the basis that I was high on marijuana at the time (even though I wasn't really), and therefore not in control of my own actions.
I'll be seeing my lawyer tomorrow, but if anyone can offer any sound legal advice or even just advice in general I'd appreciate it.

I think (and hope) you get what you deserve. So, no, I don't have any advice.
As far as "sound legal advice", we're not lawyers.

kicking an incapacitated man in the balls has consequences.
who would've thought?
you didnt act like a man during that instance, act like a man during this one and deal with it.

1. You kicked a guy who already had his ass kicked
2. You kicked him in the balls
3. ...You kicked him in the balls
Sorry buddy, drunk or not, you are a coward.

Your fucked dude you hit a guy on the ground that's battery I believe. Also if you fucked up his man-bag expect to get sued for thousands of dollars you probably don't have.

Heres why I dont believe your story. If you were facing charges for this you would have been arrested and you mention nothing about this. If you had been arrested, then yes you would know your charges but you would know absolutely no details about the case, even when you go talk to your lawyer tomorrow I doubt he would know this seeing how it would be his first time hearing about the case and he probably hasn't gone in to talk to the DA yet to see what the deal is.
your just some dumb weird kid that enjoys making shit up on the net.

advice: grow the fuck up and learn from your mistakes. don't look for pity from a primarily male forum after you kicked a dude in the nuts.

the quorom, it seems bud bundy, has spoken.
(if i were on your not guilty jury id push this line to my peers..)
the jury is going to see you as a weak minded tag along with a thug friend, who is a liar, prone to cowardly acts at the slightest of impetus. a loose cannon with anti-social behavioural modes, and a waning sense of morality. In light of his substance abuses, and lack of real motivation to change his way, i would strongly recommend a guilty for assault and battery. boy needs a lesson..
let us know when you get out budddddd-e
