Question: What is the penalty for assault and battery?
Answer: The laws are different in every state, but are basically a crime. Punishment usually depends on how serious it was, if a weapon was involved, was the victim physically injured, etc. In many states a juvenile accused of assault can (or must) be tried as an adult. Penalties include jail, prison, probation, fines, restitution, community service and counseling. The Judge considers the age of the person, their record and the seriousness of the crime.

Well you should be fine. the same thing happened to my friend and since your friend is okay and u probably were not being wreckless the judge will say "Boys will be boys" also the judge will have more important things to do so u'll be ok

I really think you need some help you seem to have a high temper. there are classes you can take to help you. What you did was wrong and no normal person would do that just because somthing gave you a look. that's just wrong. I think you should really get some help
