What is the major difference between assualt and assualt causing bodily harm? What would a victim need in order to prove bodily harm? Also what would count as provoked.
Here the story:
I was dating a psycho. He bit a chunk out of his arm and ate it, tried suicide multiple times while we were together etc. We broke up, he told me he cheated on me. I cared about him and told him i didnt want to see them together blah blah. The day after he calls me to tell me he is going to a mall and I told him I happened to be going too but I wanted to avoid him.
So on my way to pick up a friend I see him and this girl being all cutesie. I got mad but ignored it and got on the bus. So I went to the mall and realized we might just be there at the same time. So I called him to say please avoid me, I'm leaving. He follows me, provokes me with his gf in various ways and I kicked him, aiming for the balls but hit his leg. Not very hard. I was charged with assualt causing bodily harm.
The laywer told me he would argue the bodily harm. I dont think he was hurt in any way, he showed no emotion as it happened, no facial expression, didnt hunch over in pain, nothing. I am eighteen years old and I have never been arrested or charged previous to this. Any advice? (I'm in Canada)
