Find answers to your legal question.





My brother was walking home from school and a 18 year old hit him, can he the 18 year go to jail?

My brother was walking home from school when a senior (18yrs old) was waiting for him by a park that my brother walks by everyday after school. This guy was with his friends and he starting fighting with my brother, my brother hit him back in self defense . Can the 18 year old get in trouble?

my brother hit him with a brick to get away when he was getting choked.so the other kid had to get 5 stitches on his face. the other kid went to the cops first so the laywer said we can not do anything.

How old is your brother first? If he is younger than 13 forget calling the police call an older cousin or friend to beat the bully's ***

It depends on how old your brother is. If your brother is younger than 18, the boy who hit him could be charged with battery or assault.


Rolex
yes he can and more likely to if hes under 15


Michelle
yeah he can he is of legal age to go to prison if tried and proven guilty by the judge and jury. be careful because if he is found innocent it can lead to more trouble.

AlboBarbieDoll

Yes. Its basically an adult hitting a child. This stupid guy will be charged as an adult and will be forced to drop the soap for some time. If I knew you, I would ask you to tell me who this 18 year old is and I would take care of him. My tire iron would like to talk to him.

Yes its called assult. you would need an eye witness or proof like a video tape. have him walk past again but video tape it from a hidden point of view. lol

Go take some self defense training and go kick his butt. Or go after him with some of your friend and teach him not to pick on younger kids. This 18 year old probably a punk anyway and will wilt under a stained and powerful attack.

Did he do any damage to your brother? If so he can go to jail


wizebloke
assaulting a minor
do you have witnesses willing to say the other guy started it?


wolfex16
For sure, that's assault.

yep he can
my son was in the wrong place at the wrong time (his poor choices)
and got vehicle vandalized and himself stabbed in the back (if stabber had been even fairly well trained, it would have been fatal, as it was, the wound was relatively superficial)
local constable (in a different county than ours), took a long time to track down the facts
the stabber is was brought up on charges and made a deal for 3 yrs
the vehicle beater is paying q month to pay for repairs rather than wherever they would send a 16yo
anyway, the point is that if you pursue it, a reasonable outcome is possible, and i would have not expected such an outcome prior to this event


Krissi
Yes, and he can be charged as an adult.


lopezr_5
hell ya that 18 year old can go to jail he or she is an legal adult.


Ilir
listen, these people don't know what they are talking about. Of course it is aggravated assault and criminal conspiracy and reckless endangerment to a minor but it all depends on the persons rap sheet. If its his first time , hes going to get a slap on the wrist and probation. You can sue him in civil court though.


Pat C
That's Assault no matter what age.


cece1804
yea! how old is your bro?yes the 18 yr old can go to jail.press charges against this guy.

Yes. based on how hurt your brother got depends on what prosecution that the guy gets. if he was pretty beat up and bleeding a bruised, they could go to jail for attempted murder.
