What is Assault and Battery?

Assault (1) with intent to murder, rape, or rob, (2) with a deadly weapon or any object, device, or instrument which, when used offensively against a person, is likely to or actually does result in serious bodily injury, or (3) a person assaults another by shooting a gun from a car at the other person. (O.C.G.A. 16-5-21(a)).

Simple assault and simple battery are considered misdemeanors, which are minor crimes carrying with them punishments of monetary fines and perhaps a short jail stay.

Aggravated assault and aggravated battery are more serious crimes, defined as felonies under state law, and can result in years of incarceration as each offense is punishable by 1-20 years in prison. Contact us today.
