Default Re: under 18 assault\battery

most likely slap on the wrist...do some community service, probation..if they decide to look at you as an adult than than same thing considering you have no criminal backround.. Most states have a surpervision thing where if you stay out of trouble for 6 months then they will drop the case..most likely you will get that

Do you have any priors? If they do decide to press charges I would definitely lawyer up regardless. With a clean record you could definitely get the charges dropped to something less sever and end up with community service

Was this a fight or an attack? If it was a fight, your offense is mitigated by the fact that it was mutual combat, as long as you didn't go to far. If you attacked him maliciously, especially if you clearly outmatch him, you're probably screwed.
