Re: Charged with harrassment
So what you are saying is that you pushed the other person because of what they said to you? If that is true, then it is no defense, that their "words" annoyed you, in any legal technical sense. The DA will argue that "sticks & stones"...... but in all honesty, it depends on alot more than just that. Call a lawyer.
