Re: First Degree Misdemeanor Assault
You're charged with violating ORC 2903.13? If so, which subsection?
This was your assumption, that the drunk "went after her to do (physical) harm"? He denied that? You were the only one to actually lay hands on another person? When the police interviewed witnesses, what did they say?
