Re: second degree battery domestic violence

You should seek the advice of an attorney as soon as possible since second degree battery is a felony charge. The facts of your case should be discussed in private and not on a public forum. Keep in mind the burden of proof is on the State to prove you are guilty of second degree battery;you do not have to prove anything.
