what is the difference between a misdemeanor conviction for simple battery and a misdemeanor conviction for affray? you need to retain an attorney. a real attorney. not an on-line legal advice line. the charges will be dropped only when you retain an experienced attorney. see my website: www.lawrencelewispc.com good luck

The penalty for affray and battery are the same.

What you need is a lawyer, so you can properly raise your defenses.
