I Was Charged with a Simple Assault in NJ, What am I Facing?
- In a simple assault, there is generally an alleged victim and a defendant.
- Sometimes the lines between who the victim and who the defendant are completely blurred.
- If the only witnesses to this event were you or the other person, there are possible ways of essentially signing a charge against that other person for a simple assault.
- If there are no witnesses to the incident, both of you can decide against testifying and acknowledge your fifth amendment rights not to testify.
