Yes. You will be charged with contempt of court if you fail to appear in court in response to a subpoena.
If you slapped your girlfriend you might be charged with assault or domestic violence.
A Domestic Violence offense in Nevada is serious, especially if it is an allegation of attempted murder. Whether your son has been formally charged or just subpoenaed, it would be in your best interest to speak with an experienced criminal defense attorney in Nevada. The consequences for this type of crime can be extremely severe. Following an arrest for any type of criminal charge, especially for domestic violence, battery, assault, or another violent act, it's imperative that you protect your son's rights. Do not take this situation lightly. If you have not already done so, speak with a criminal lawyer immediately. You should not ignore the subpoena. The only way to minimize the potential consequences would be to get proper legal advice as soon as possible.
Too many variables to answer the question. How serious was the assault? What was he charged with? Were there witnesses to it? What (if any) is his criminal record? (it would have a bearing on the severity of the prosecution) If you were served with a subpoena to testify as a witness, I suggest that you appear as directed. If not, the judge COULD issue a warrant for your arrest and compel you to appear.
It depends. You may bite in self-defense. If the person who bites is the aggressor than they can be charged with assault. If it is from a domestic assault than anything that causes pain can and should result in an arrest.
You can count yourself fortunate if you were only charged with Simple Assault and not Domestic Battery or Domestic Violence. You should really consult with an attorney or request a Public Defender to defend you.
i think it could, like it could be described as a domestic battery or battery or something
The rules are the same for everyone; it doesn't matter if you're 16 or 33. You can be a teenager & charged with domestic violence, assault, battery, etc.
