Re: Battery Assault?

A charge of battery on a public way is aggravated battery, a class 2 felony, which carries with it a sentence of 3 to 5 years in prison. The chances are, though, he will be charged with misdomeanor battery, which carries with it a sentence of up to 364 days in county jail. Have him call an experienced criminal defense lawyer immediately.
