Battery A Battery occurs whenever one person touches another without consent. A Battery can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony. The amount of injury to the victim will usually decide whether the case is charged as a felony or a misdemeanor. A misdemeanor battery carries a maximum of 1 year in jail; however most misdemeanor batteries carry little or no jail time with a skillful attorney. A felony battery under Penal Code Section 243 is a maximum
of 3 years in state prison. It should be noted, however,
that if a person commits a battery by shooting another person
such a crime can result in a charge of manslaughter or attempted
murder which carry much higher sentences including life in
prison. Please contact Mr. Bruzzo on any criminal matter at (714) 547-4636 or fill out the form below: Battery - Orange County Criminal DefenseWilliam W. Bruzzo Criminal Defense Site Guide | Battery Defense Attorney |
