    Default Charged with Simple Battery

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: louisiana
    Yesterday my sister ended up getting in a fight with a girl. After exchanging words the girl shoved my sister so she shoved her back n hit her 3 times then walked away. The other girls friends were infront of them walking and did not see the other girl shove her so they are going to testify that my sister initiated the fight. My sister btw filled simple battery charges against the girl for initiating the fight. My sister is in law school btw and we know for a fact the other girl that is going to testify against her does illegal narcotics. We were going to get the witness drug tested to question her credibility. Do youll think that an issue like that would help us in court? Also if convicted what kind of sentence is she facing?
    Thank you
    Tyler

    Default Re: Charged with Simple Battery

    Your sister is in law school, but doesn't have the sense to behave like an adult in this type of situation? And she doesn't know how to look up a statute? Did she skip criminal law and her research/writing class?

    You can't just demand that a witness be drug tested and have it happen.
    Quote Quoting Louisiana Revised Statutes, § 14:38. Simple Assault
    Simple assault is an assault committed without a dangerous weapon.

    Whoever commits a simple assault shall be fined not more than two hundred dollars, or imprisoned for not more than ninety days, or both.
