Oshawa Assault Defence Lawyers serving Durham Region
An assault is the application of force or the threat of force against another individual without their consent and without legal justification or excuse. Assaults can range in severity and can occur with or without a weapon. When a weapon is involved the penalties can be far more serious. The weapon does not actually need to be used in the assault for a charge to be filed against you and almost anything can be considered a weapon. A baseball bat is not a weapon if it is used to play baseball, but if it is knowingly waved in someone’s direction it can constitute an assault with a weapon. Merely having a weapon openly on your person while taking part in an assault can be grounds for a more serious charge to be laid against you.
Depending on the circumstances of your case, your history and the severity of the charge, you could be facing significant jail time. A conviction for assault will go on your criminal record and will have lasting consequences that may seriously affect your future.
