Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
My son has been charged with Burglary with battery in Florida for allegedly pulling his on/off girlfriend out of shower and causing her to hit her head. What should we expect?

Hello--there's a lot of variables that are unknown, but here are some possible dispositions. It does depend on what County this is in--some are more favorable.... Also, whether or not he has a prior crim record will influence the disp.
If he has no record, they may bump it down to a misdemeanor or even offer him a diversionary program (where you make an agreement with the State, complete some sanctions-they dismiss).
If the victim wants the case dismissed, she could contact the State and inform them. Hopefully, she wasn't hurt--that is a big factor here.
Hope this helps.
