Re: Assult with a deadly weapon

A charge of assault with a deadly weapon must include some imminent threat of harm or actual physical harm imposed on the victim.

A District Attorney has broad discretion to bring formal charges against defendants and would require probable cause to maintain the filed charges.

Your posting does not go into great detail so it would be difficult to adequately gauge the merits of your defense.

My office handles criminal matters; contact my office should you wish to schedule a free consultation.
