If a defendant initates an assault can the defendant press charges on the Plaintiff if he get hurts as a result of the assault?
no. both people can be charged though. you can defend yourself only if you have no means of escape or expect serious bodily injury. if there is a way to avoid a confrontation even if you are attacked and you could have left or escaped you can be charged as well. the exception is if someone attacks you at your residence. it is called the castling rule then and only then are you not obligated to try and find an escape.
