Can someone please help to sleep at night. My husband is going to trial in Febuary for assaulting a teenage boy in a store for molesting our daughter. because it happened in a store, he is charged with burglery even though he didnt steal anything, assault with a deadly weapon (his Hands), injury upon a child(some bumps and bruises) and terriorst threats, (he told the kid he was going to cut him up for what he did to his daughter). My husband has no criminal record, is a hard worker and on a school board. I am not saying that he didnt do anything wrong, he was just so distressed over what happened, he lost his mind for a little while. I have never been on a jury, so my question is it possible for a jury to drop some of these charges completely or at least lower them from felonys? My husband does admit to grabbing the kid and threating him. Or because he admitted to grabbing him and shaking him up, will the jury have to give him a quilty verdict on that felony charge? or can they say not quilty because he had reasonable motive for grabbing the boy.
