In most jurisdictions I am aware of "Simple" Assault (meaning assault with nothing but your hands or fists) is a misdemeanor. It can be charged as a more serious crime depending upon the seriousness of the injuries inflicted on the victim.
Unless you are a trained boxer or martial artist, an assault using only your hands (usually called a "Simple Assault") is a misdemeanor. An assault using ANY other kind of weapon (including kicking with your feet) is an "Assault With A Weapon" or "Assault with a Deadly Weapon" or "Assault and Battery," is a felony because of the severe bodily harm that can from from it (this includes the area of trained martial artists and boxers).
Simple assault is a misdemeanor. Not sure about assault and battery...
no i believe it would be more of a misdemeanor
It depends on the type of assault. "Simple" assault can be a misdemeanor, but Assault With a Weapon is a felony.
If it was just plain assault, without any weapon inolved, it would be a misdemeanor. If a weapon was involved (battery) it would probably be a felony.
Yes, SIMPLE Assault (no weapon involved - hands or fists only) is a misdemeanor.

No Mr. Lamar Merkerson has never been convicted of a felony. He was set for trial in October 2004 for the murder of Thomas Kelly, but was found not guilty by a jury of his peers. But Mr. Merkerson has a number of prior misdemeanor convictions including assault and battery and numerous drug charges.
If you are the defendant: you go free.
