Re: assault question
If the alleged assaulter has no prior convictions, he should likely escape from this legal imbroglio without having to serve time in jail. However, to make that more likely, he'll need to have a competent criminal defense counsel representing him in this matter, whether the attorney is retained by the accused or appointed by the court.
