Q: How can they charge my son

My son was arrested for aggravated assault with intent to commit a felony. My son was at his home when his girlfriend's dad and step mom came to my son and his girlfriend's home and jumped my son one holding him and the dad beating him. The cops were called the dad said my son had a gun and threatened his girlfriend the girlfriend said he didn't threaten her my son did have a BB gun not on him they charged my son and took him to jail but no one else was charged with anything. Why didn't the dad and step mom go to jail

A: Sounds like you need to hire a good lawyer to represent your son...you may also want him to pursue an order of protection against repeat violence.
