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.

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.

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

I say the guy you kicked in the balls should be legally able to do the same to you in the court of law.
There. Settled. |
