    Default Felony Assault and Harassment Charges

    hi, so yeah i just got arrested and booked for "gang" assault. i was with friends and we had a street fight against these people. and the police arrested 4 of us. and 2 of which are false arrest, since they weren't even in the scene. and then we were booked and showed up in a court. Then my parents hired a lawyer, and showed me a file, that i was accused of 3rd degree assault and 2nd degree harassment. My lawyer told me i was good and they might dismiss or lessened my charges because the fact that i haven't got arrested before, i was full time student and etc. so yeah, we were showed in front of the court, i had my own lawyer and my three other friends had 1 shared free lawyer. My lawyer told the judge that i am full time student n it was my first time got arrested and my for my other friends, it was their 1st time as well. and the judge ruled out that instead of paying 2,000 bail out, they let us out and have t come back to court again in 15 days. My lawyer told me they lessened the charge to misdemeanor for now until for the new affidavit. but im not sure. Now, My question is, will my case get worse, or since it was my first time and all, what are the possible charges will they charge me again? and will there be any fines? will i get community service? house arrest? and what is affidavit? i get ALL POSSIBILITIES please thanks .

    question one:
    1. since it was my first time and i have clean background, will they up'd or down'd my charge in the next court session, currently "what my lawyer told me" is misdemeanor?

    question two:
    2. will i face jail time? or probation? or fines? please state any possible outcomes in my case..


    p.s and yeah, when i got arrested in fight scene. one of the cops smacked me in the face cause i dnt know i was like freaking out that time.

    question three:
    3.do you think they have the right to do that?

    Your lawyer will know best what penalties to expect. He will be familiar with the prosecutor and judge in your area.

    Ask your lawyer. You know, the one that you are paying to represent you. He can best advise you what the prosecutor and judge in your area will want.
