Re: assult with bodily injury
You should get him a lawyer. No one should ever go into a criminal courtroom without an attorney. A defendant is at the mercy (of which there is little) of the court, when in fact the court rules by the law, not sympathy. If his court date comes up, and he does not have a lawyer, he should ask for a continuance to get one. Most courts are lenient in this regard, and will give him another 30 days. If he is indigent, the court will appoint him a lawyer -- but do not expect to get much attention from a court-appointed lawyer. Good luck.
