    The best thing is to do is get witnesses for support. If you can afford an attorney, get one. If you are low income, try and get a free attorney through legal aid services.

    What state are you in? Some states have overcrowded jails.

    Prison has a slim chance if you are going to be charged for Assault & Battery. A&B is a minor called a misdemeanor. Usually going to prison requires a felony. Explain the whole story to your attorney to see if thinks it best to fight it or plead guilty for a misdemeanor. I bet you will not get any jail time either .

    I'm currently living in Virginia. And I didn't use a weapon so it's A&B right?
    the school has it on camera and they're saying my brother and I double-teamed the other student, which we didn't. I think pleading guilty will only get me probation right?

    It varies in states. Usually you will get probation for "A&B." But other things can be included. For example: Community Service, and Anger Management. If there was harm on the other guy, you might have to pay restitution.
