My question involves criminal law for the state of: New Jersey
Ok, I came to New Mexico with a guy who I was friends with at the time. We got into an argument and he attacked me. I had no alternative but to defend myself and he got 3 bruised ribs and a dislocated sternum. He got kicked off the project we were working on and had to return to New Jersey. Out of spite, he has sent me nasty emails and the last one said he filed a battery charge against me.
So, my main question is, can he file battery charges against me in New Jersey for something that happened in New Mexico?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
Justin
