Not enough information is given in order to answer. If it was a first offense and the injuries (if any) were slight you COULD receive probation or a sentence of community service -OR- if you have a record and/or a tough judge you could receive jail time up to a year.
It depends on the circumstances and locallegislation.
Then you would be found guilty of ACS, whatever that may be. Assault to Cause Serious bodily injury, as a guess.
Three choices: (1) You can fight the charge and hope that you will ultimately be found 'not guilty.' (2) You can admit to the offense and plead guilty. (3) You can try to plea bargain (i.e.: 'cop a plea') with the prosecutor by offering to plead guilty to a lesser crime in exchange for a plea of guilty to that lesser offense.
Depends on whether we are talking about a 4th degree misdemeanor or a 4th degree felony and whether or not you plan to plead guilty or innocent or simply no contest.
Guilty
If you have been arrested by the police because they think you have committed a crime, the next thing that happens is that you are brought to court for trial. When you come into court the charges against you are read out and you are given the opportunity to say that either you did not do the things you are accused of (a plea of not guilty) or that you agree that you did what you are accused of (a plea of guilty). If you plead guilty then there is no trial and the court will decide the punishment you deserve immediately. If you plead not guilt, a trial will be held and a jury will be appointed to hear both sides of the argument and decide if they think you are or are not guilty. If they decide you are guilty you will be punished.
If going to court, if you cannot afford one, one will be appointed. If a child is innocent, get a lawyer. If a child is guilty, you should get the appointed one, and plead guilty.
Perhaps. It may depend on just how brutal or vicious the assault was. If you agree to plead guilty to a lesser offense, or agree to aid the prosecutor or police, maybe you can work out a plea bargain.
When the accused states that they are guilty, they are admitting to committing the crime they have been charged with. If they plead not guilty, it means they are denying the charges against them and the case will proceed to trial where the prosecution will have to prove their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
You must first determine if you qualify for it. See below link:
I don't think you can appeal after a guilty plea.
