Most cases of assault require proof of bodily damage that is more than trifling in nature, i.e. deep bruising, broken bones, abrasions, soft tissue damage. ADDED: If the case has proceeded to the point of prosecution, I'm assuming (a dangerous thing to do) that the prosecutor has photos of the victim's injuries taken at the time. If they do, THESE are presented to the judge (or jury) and , alojng with the testimonry of the victim, they will be sufficient to get a conviction, or not.
