My question involves criminal law for the state of: NJ
Hello,
I would appreciate any advice on the incident and what may happen to me, this is to strange to belive but true.
I was driving with my wife today a guy on a bycycle darted out in front of our car. I beeped just to avoid an acciednt nothing more. The guy immedately gave me the finger. he than looked at me at started yelling come on Jew Boy Come on Jew Boy, Nice Car Jew boy, he than yelled come on you and your ugly girlfriend to my wife. Furious i let my wife out of our car, I then threw a water bottle at his bike. hHe then stopped and staring scream yeah come on, well he got his, we fought and I punched him in the head with his helmet on and kneeed him. He had his hands on my throat but he really got it. The police came and he went to a hospital and I got arrested.
Ihave no criminal record whatsoever and want to know if the fact that he used fighting words that inciteed a fight and he so happened to lose that fight, mean to my potential troubles. I had no inkling to fight anyone and was shocked to be called JEW boy five times have my wife insaulted all because i honked for half a second to avoid an accident. yes he got beaten uyp but he was not innocent and said what would be understandle to recive a villent response. I have a newborn and hope I am not in too much trouble . He had two swollen eyes and a bloody nose but I dont think anything else. Anyones thoughts and opiions are very much apprciated, i just cant belive going to look at a new home for my family and newborn could turn into such a nightmare. Thanks
