Re: simple assault
It is just a matter of getting the prosecutor to dismiss the charge because of your explanation, but you need an attorney.

Re: simple assault
An assault conviction requires that he peove you intended to do this. If your husband does not want to prosecute, the Prosecutor will probably dismiss the complaint. Your best course of action is to have an attorney represent you. I would be happy to discuss this with you.
