    Default What Charges Are Likely After An Assault

    Last night my mother was assaulted by her *drunk* sister, she's pressing charges.

    Her sister is currently on probabtion until December 2007, for child abuse and has been in jail twice.

    It was totally unprovoked. Her sister is bigger and healthier than her, she was unable to defend herself.

    My mother has numerous bruises, cuts and scratches, and a bite wound on her hand.

    Does anyone have any idea what charge she will receive? If she will go to jail?
    Whether it will be assault, aggrevated assault, or assault causing bodily harm?

    What do they classify as bodily harm? Bruises and cuts?

    I realize this is a US based site, I'm from Canada, I'm just wondering if anyone can help.

    Thanks,

    Island_Girl

    Are you in Prince Edward Island? I am asking cause of your user name...I know an attorney in Charlottetown, so if you are there, I can call and ask...

    Yes I am from PEI, if you could find out, that would be great.
    My mother has been talking to the RCMP, and the cop said there will be a list of charges...but we're just not sure what yet.
    She will be having a meeting with him on Wednesday.
    I'm just wondering right now, what charges we can expect she will be hit with?
    Thanks.
