No. You could be charged as a party to the crime of assault. In other words, the allegation would be that you aided, assisted, or abetted the individual that actually committed the assault. As such, you also stand in that person's shoes and the potential penalty is the same for the... Read more »

My ex husband accused me of breaking his window. He called my brother in law and threatened to kill me cause his window was broken. My sister overheard as well. I'm not allowed on his property so I would not go over to his residence.
You need to contact the authorities if you are the victim of a crime, and that appears to be the case here. The threats are important to record in advance of any potential future legal issues between y'all, and it could be useful in presenting to a judge later on.
If you were convicted of a felony you lose your right to possess a firearm under GA and Federal law. The only way to get that reinstated is to receive a pardon with restoration of rights or to apply for retroactive first offender.

When all they had was hearsay at trail with no physical evidence and no proof and I lost
What weight and credibility to be given to the testimony of any witness is up to the determination of the jury. Hearsay is what a witness said out side of court, testimony is what they say in court.
It is hard to answer without knowing the formal disposition, was it a successfully completed First Offender or Conditional Discharge? If it was then all of your rights are restored including the right to possess a firearm.
