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.

ASSAULT AND BATTERY IS A MISDERMEANOR NOT A FELONY. I JUST GOT CARGED WITH THE SAME THING. THE POLICE OFFICER LOOKED IT UP FOR ME BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS A FELONY. HE SHOWED ME THE LAW BOOK WHERE IT SAID ASSAULT AND BATTERY IS A MISDERMEANOR...

I used to live with a kid that i thought was my best friend. It started off fine till one time we decided to take it further. after a month i changed my mind and found a new guy. He started callin me names and pushing me ofcourse i thought nothing of it. He said we were still friends and since i was in his house he used to come and sleep with me in my bed but just as friends. he eventually started hitting me till one day his dad woke up called the cops and they pulled him over (b.c he had left angry) and gave him a dui.
