No, there isn't.
FTA stands for Failure To Appear on your court date for that charge.
The initials 'FTA' stand for 'failure to appear'. So FTA Battery indicates that a person failed to appear in court on a battery charge.
Don't say anything. That simple.
Battery, in legal terms (as opposed to electrical terms) is assault which damages someone. If a warrant has been issued for you to appear for the charge of battery, it means that you have been accused of this crime and must appear in court, to be tried.
No crime is simple. Yes, you should have an attorney to insure that you are treated properly under the law. If you can not afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you in the US.
in simple words is to file a charge against someone and bring a case to court.
I was in same boat - I had charges of "Simple Battery" with one year court supervision and anger management class and recently my Green Card approved; It took around 15 months. Simple battery is not a crime of moral turpitude; there is lot of misconception about this: Make sure send original certified copy of disposition letter from county clerk office it would may cost around $3 to $5 - My case were delayed for 3 months because I didn't send original certified copy. Good Luck & cheers!
The person in charge of a county court - is a Magistrate.
No individual can "press charge" - they can only swear out a complaint in court, or they can report the battery to law enforcement. It is the victim of the violence who must swear out the complaint or, in the case of a juvenile, the parent or guardian of the juvenile.
i got arrested but no charge....i went to court but they told me no court for you they for give you so do i have criminal record?
In the US Supreme Court.
They will charge based on the laws of the jurisdiction. And they will charge the maximum allowed under the law, but must have the court agree.
