    Default Class A Misdemeanor, Domestic battery, in Illinois

    A week ago today i was arrested with domestic battery for gettin in a fight with my father, i did not attempt to hurt him in any way, but on the other hand he kicked the shit outta me. i had visual bruises and he had nothing more then a bloddy nose (a result of him strangling me, smashing my head on the tile floor, and biting my face (causing a massive bruise) and pushing me down a few stairs..... im considered the offensor because i reached for his pocket which had my keys in there.

    we both spent 2 nights in jail, and both got out on 1000$ d-bond[i think], (100$ out the door) they dropped the charges against him but are charging me[illinois], i have court in a little more then a week, and was wondering what i might get charged with. I have NO criminal record at all and had a witness to the whole thing and no other family members were around[except my sister, but she heard/saw nothing].

    there isnt a chance i will get jail time is there? i will go to court with a suit and groomed hair and be very polite. and ask for a public defender. otherwise i need some advise ASAP as what to do.


    i also cannot afford a lawyer at the moment, but have managed to collect about 600$ for a fine... and have my grandma to pay if it is more....

    my dad doesnt wanna press charges and isnt, he wants to make up and let me go back to work with him.....


    also the police did NOT read my miranda rights when i was arrested and was wondering what that means?

    whats everyones advise?

    also im 18, if that matters much...

    BTW i like this forum sofar
