What is Assault Bail?
Charges of assault are frequently linked with charges of battery, and though they are usually paired together they are for two separate crimes. Assault is attempting or accomplishing, to commit a violent injury to someone else (or putting them in a dangerous situation where it is likely they will be injured), while battery is for the intentional act of causing physical harm to another
Assault, in other words, is the risk (or threat) of violence and battery is for the act of violence itself. Just because you or your loved one have been arrested for assault does not mean anyone was actually physically harmed. In the state of Georgia, assault charges apply to the use of words as well as physical contact. For example, threatening to run someone over with a car or shoot them, if presented with enough menace, can be enough for a simple assault charge.
What is the Difference Between Misdemeanor and Felony Charges?
Simple assault and simple battery are misdemeanor charges. This includes verbal threats or putting someone in harm’s way, and intentionally making contact to provoke (such as pushing someone).
Aggravated assault and aggravated battery are felony charges. This includes the intent to murder, rob, or rape, use of a deadly weapon, instrument, object, or device against another. This could mean using your car to hit someone, a gun, knife, bomb, or blunt object. The aggravated battery portion of the charges is the result of inflicting intentionally serious injury – including serious disfigurement or loss of limb.
Penalties for Assault / Assault & Battery Charges
In the state of Georgia, simple assault and battery charges qualify as misdemeanors, and misdemeanors are punishable by a maximum of $1,000 in fines and a maximum of one year incarcerated in a county or state prison. Aggravated assault and battery convictions are designated as felonies, resulting in prison sentences greater than one year in federal prison and a minimum of $1,000 in fines. With a felony, you will also lose the right to vote.
There are also cases where a misdemeanor can be altered to “misdemeanor of high and aggravated nature” which would mean, upon conviction, a prison sentence of up to one year and a maximum of fines reaching $5,000. This elevation of charges can be applied if the assault was committed against a public school employee, on public transportation, or if the victim was over 65 years old or pregnant.
