Probation Violation - Arrested for Assault and Battery
My question involves criminal law for the state of: Massachusetts.
well i been on probation since january for assualt and battery that happened over a year ago. This saturday i was charged with assualt and battery (which really was not true) and got arrested on the spot, got bailed out. Went to court today for me pre-trial hearing and in court i had to cash bail again, originally for $1,000 but my court appointed attorney asked to reduce it to $250 which the judge accepted. now thursday i have to go to court for violating probation because of this incident and im afraid of whats going to happen, i leave out of state the next day, friday, for college and worried ill be put in jail and miss school. the person who i sopposably assaulted went to court with me today and wanted to drop the charges but unfortuantly that did not work out, but he is coming to my parole violation trial to say that these charges arent true again. what do you guys think ill be getting, extended probation, jail time? hopefully extend probation so i can go back to school the next day out of state. thanks

Who reported the assault?
Re: Probation Violation. Arrested for Assualt and Battery
it was one of my old friends, but after this incident we are friends again. but on the police report they said i did all this stuff like punching and kicking, which was not true and my friend who was the defendant is trying to say that its not true also. i am going to go speak to my probation officer tomorow and see who he can tell his story too.

Okay...pulling teeth here.
WHY did your old friend report the assault?

well during the argument somebody called 911, which i did not know about till they arrived, at that time everything was cooled off, and before i even got to say anything i was arrested. at first my friend agreed that i assualted him to the cops, so now its just looks bad in court when he is now saying that i didnt. its very confusing i know.

Yes, it's very confusing because you will not tell us what gave rise to the assault charge.
I don't want to know what happened afterward (see your quote above).
In fact, I don't want to know anything more about it.
Bye.
Re: Probation Violation. Arrested for Assualt and Battery
ok bye
what do you mean what gave rise to the charge, it was a normal argument that escalated, somebody called the cops. they come, i get arrested and told that im being charged with assualt and battery
all my question is what could be the outcome of the probation violation, not the outcome on the trial of this charge. like i said, im a college student who leaves back to school the next day after the hearing so would they just be nice and extend parole or could i possibly face jail or am i just worried to much and nothing really will come of this.

He is asking you exactly what action of yours caused you to be charged with assault and battery.
