Re: 3rd degree assult charge
In "a fight" sometimes a defendant is not guilty by reason of self-defense. The falling down the stairs as cause of injury could in some cases provide a defense of "accident", or that the injury was self-inflicted by the man injured, who chose to fight or who started the fight with an attack. Martial status will have little legal relevance, though might engender some jury sympathy. If you want to discuss the details in the privacy of my office, you may call me to arrange an appointment time for an office consultation. You definitely need a lawyer and soon.
