what is the jail time for battery charge for a person with prior convictions and a rap sheet.
Jail time is possible if it's your first conviction, but not likely. If you plead guilty it's almost a 100% chance that you'll just get supervision or probation, but look out for a civil case after you plead guilty.
It's all up to the prosecutor, judge, jury or possibly the arresting officer to change the charge from a felony charge to a misdemeanor charge, happens all the time..
Forever. Never leaves you.
FTA stands for Failure To Appear on your court date for that charge.
It would be an assault and battery. It will probably be a misdemeanor.
You need to talk to a lawyer.
Not enough information is disclosed on what misdemeanor charge, or what "procedure" is being referred to. However: if it is a misdemeanor traffic offense, not generally. But if it is a summary arrest situation (i.e.: you are taken into full custody) for a misdemeanor offense, the exact same procedures and constitutional protections will apply as it does in any other arrest situation.
It depends upon the wording of the statute in your paarticular jurisdiction. In some states it is a misdemeanor and in others it is a felony, in still others it can depend on how much resistance was given to the officer and can range from a misdemeanor charge up to a felony.
yes as long as it isn't a family violence simple battery (domestic violence)
It depends on the misdemeanor charge. For a drunk in public charge, chances are they'll take you to jail to sober up andthenlet you go. For a loitering in public charge, if you haven't damaged or stolen anything, they'll check yourID for outstanding warrants and let you go with a misdemeanor citation. Rarely will they do extra work and mail you a ticket later on.
If there was an outstanding warrant on the charge, yes. Also, in some jurisdictions there are, what is called "Probable Cause Misdemeanors" (i.e.- altho they are classified as misdemeanor offenses, they are of such a high or aggravated nature that law enforcement can arrest a perpetrator even after the event and/or the perpetrator has fled the scene).
If you were charged with a felony - appeared in court - the charge was reduced from a felony offense to a misdemeanor offense - and then you skipped out and it has been necessary to issue a warrant for your arrest; It means that by fleeing you failed to complete your part of the 'legal' bargain and the felony charge would quite likely be re-instituted and you could now be a fugitive felon.
