How to decide to take the deal? Well your lawyer should be able to give you the best advice on this. Just because they guy called the girl names and spit on her does not give anyone the right to use a weapon (bottle) against the person. After the incident happened, the police should have been called. I can understand the brother getting angry and it would have been better for him to at least not use a bottle, and just his hand as it would not be a felony, but that is out of the question now. He sounds guilty and there wont be much of a defense for it. It's not self-defense so I dont know what can be done. Depending on the deal, it may be the best since you def do not want to be convicted on 4 felonies and have the possibility of prison time.
