Probably not, but you have not given enough facts. Generally a threat to do bodily harm has to be coupled with the present ability to carry out the threat in order to be an actual assault.

By many people yes. Do you have a statute to review? Can you look up the criminal statutes in your state? Find them and read the ones which you are charged with.
how do I beat this charge?

You asked this many months ago. What is the JNS? Usually, the best thing to do in circumstances like this is to have an attorney, so get one for him.
But I've set up away to pay it 30$ a month I've paid it threw my probation officer why have they issued a warrant ~??

Get an attorney on your side. The attorney will investigate the facts and circumstances and then be able to answer your question.

Probably not. You need to have a full discussion with a local attorney.

When anyone is accused of crime, they have the right to remain silent. Yes, he needs an attorney first. If he is alleged to have committed a crime, he must remain silent. If they have enough to arrest him, they will.
Possession with intent to dist. They are trying to give 18 mandatory years which I was caught in possession of 25gs 600 cash baggies and a scale isn't these two different charges?

You are facing 18 years and ask only if the charges are different? Yes, they are different charges, most likely.

Hire a criminal defense attorney. You asked this question to private criminal defense attorneys. Did you expect some other answer?
Is there anything we can do from here? We have 4 kids and he has an ailing grandfather. I am on the verge of losing everything because i dont have sitters to work the hours i need to to get the bills paid
answered on Sep 10, 2015
Probably the best thing you can do is to go see a local criminal defense attorney to find out if the judge would be able to order that he serve the rest of his time during weekends. That is the only thing that I can think of that might help you, and probably to discuss the issues fully with the... View More

Probably not, and especially not if the law allows her to negotiate in a family matter, which it most certainly does. Seek advice from a family lawyer about all of this.
My dad is in the German air force stationed in NM and I got caught smoking weed with friends, will they deport me and my family? I got charged with (statute 30-31-25.1 and 30-31-23) any information will help.
answered on Sep 8, 2015
You will be prosecuted probably for a misdemeanor and will need an attorney for that. You probably will not be deported. Possession of a small amount of marijuana is not a crime of moral turpitude.
My neighbor told me whole i was at work that the sheriff department came by my house looking for me for questioning. How do i find out it is true?

What you see on law and order, the defendant and his attorney negotiating with the investigator and the prosecutor, a common scene on that TV show, is not reality. If they have enough probable cause to arrest my client, then they can make an arrest. If they do not have enough probable cause for... View More

His mark is is mark. His name is his name. Perhaps he needs to seek advice from a local attorney. Your question is confusing.
