What is the difference between affray and assault in terms of legal definitions and consequences?
Affray and assault are both criminal offenses, but they differ in terms of legal definitions and consequences. An affray is a public disturbance involving two or more people fighting in a public place, which causes fear or alarm to others. It is considered a more serious offense than assault because it involves a public disturbance. Assault, on the other hand, is the intentional act of causing someone to fear that they will be physically harmed. Assault can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the severity of the act. In terms of consequences, an affray charge typically carries harsher penalties than assault, as it involves a public disturbance and poses a greater risk to public safety. Assault charges can result in fines, probation, or imprisonment, depending on the circumstances of the case.
