    Default Re: Felony Assault - Plea Bargain/Adjudication

    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.

    The guy had no weapon,spiting on someone then the other person hitting him with a bottle is excessive force. I don't blame the guy,morally it's justified but legally he is probably guilty. If he is convicted at trail he can be facing years in jail,the plea deal might be his best option. Maybe he can arrange a few months,house arrest,the worse part might be having a felony especially a violent on his record. Also if found guilty at trail he probably gonna be sent to state jail or whatever it is,a few months at county isn't as bad.

    He should ask his lawyer what his chance at trail is,if this is the best deal he can get.It sounds like he should take it,the lawyer is the best person to advise him.
