In the state of Maryland, there are different levels in categories for assault. These may be categorized as first degree assault, or second degree assault. A first degree assault would be defined as intentionally causing or attempting to cause serious physical injury to another. First degrees also include assaults attempted with firearms and weapons, with the potential of getting jail time of up to 25 years. Assault in the second degree manner is considered a misdemeanor and is defined as intentionally causing physical injury to another. A physically injury can mean any type of impairment to someone's physical condition. This charge is subject to imprisonment not exceeding 10 years or a fine not exceeding $2,500 or both.
However, sometimes there are valid defenses and arguments as to why someone may commit assault. Some reasons may include common self-defense or even reasonable defense of others. A knowledgeable and skilled Maryland assault lawyer
will be here every step of the way and be the aggressive legal help you need to investigate all viable defenses in order to have your charges dismissed.
Prosecutors in general usually do not have much tolerance when it comes to charges for domestic violence. Maryland domestic violence cases have most often a baseline charge of assault, destruction of property, or on the civil side, protection orders. A charge that involves or stems from a domestic relationship is generally defined as a domestic violence charge or case. As these cases most often involve contemporaneous civil filings, it is imperative to have an experienced Maryland domestic violence lawyer engaged with your case form the very outset. Often times conviction of a domestic violence charge could have ramifications in the ensuing civil cases, such as divorce, custody, or even child support.

Court reverses verdict in Calif. baby-selling case

A midlevel California appeals court has overturned the conviction of a Salinas man who allegedly tried to sell his 8-month-old baby in a Walmart parking lot.
The state's 6th District Court of Appeal ruled Friday that the judge who originally heard the case gave incomplete instructions to the jury that ultimately convicted 41-year-old Patrick Fousek of child endangerment, The Monterey Herald reports.
Both Fousek and his girlfriend, Samantha Tomasini, were arrested two years ago when two women reported that Fousek had approached them and asked if they wanted to buy his infant daughter for $25. Fousek's lawyers argued during his 2011 trial that the offer had not been serious, but the appeals court said Monterey County prosecutors had presented enough evidence to support a guilty verdict.
But the court, in its unpublished opinion, said Superior Court Judge Pamela Butler should have been told they needed to agree unanimously on the specific act or acts on which they based their verdict. In Fousek's case, that could have been the proposed sale of the baby, the squalid home in which she was being raised, or the fact that Tomasini allegedly breastfed the little girl while high on methamphetamine. |

| The case focuses on Arizona, which has tangled frequently with the federal government over immigration issues involving the Mexican border. But it has broader implications because four other states — Alabama, Georgia, Kansas and Tennessee — have similar requirements, and 12 other states are contemplating such legislation. |

Court hears arguments on NYC's big soda ban

A state appeals court panel had few sweet words Tuesday for a city health regulation that would fight diabetes and obesity by setting a size limit on sugary beverages sold in restaurants.
The four justices peppered a city lawyer with tough questions during a Manhattan court session aimed at determining whether health officials exceeded their authority in placing a 16-ounce limit on most sweetened beverages at city-licensed eateries.
The regulation would apply to thousands of fast food joints, fine restaurants and sports stadiums, but not to supermarkets or most convenience stores. It was struck down in March by a lower-court judge, who found that the rules had too many loopholes that would undermine the health benefits while arbitrarily applying to some businesses but not others. The city appealed.
During oral arguments in the case Tuesday, the judges repeatedly challenged city attorney Fay Ng to defend the rule's scientific and legal underpinnings.
Justice David Friedman said the city appeared to be asking for unprecedented authority to regulate all sorts of portion sizes, including the number of doughnuts a person could eat, the number of scoops of ice cream and number of servings of fried chicken. |
