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,
