How can i help get my husband out of a charge of aggravated battery on a pregnant woman?

Diane Buerger
Answered by attorney Diane Buerger
Criminal Law lawyer at The Buerger Law Firm, P.A.
If you were doing the attacking -- and your husband truly was defending himself -- and did not use more force against you than was reasonably necessary to ensure he was not attacked or injured, he has a defense.  If this is what happened, you can let your husband's attorney know.  You also need to make sure the state attorney's office (i.e., the assistant state attorney assigned to prosecute your husband) knows that actions by your husband were in self-defense (to keep you from attacking and/or hurting or injuring him in any way).  You need to always tell the truth.  However, if you at some point lied to law enforcement or the state about what happened, it is possible that you could face some ramifications as a result of a lie or false report. Also, under Florida law, it is not necessary for the Defendant to hurt, injure, or even bruise another person for a battery to occur.  The mere intentional touching, if knowingly done against the other person's will, constitutes a battery in Florida.  If the alleged victim is pregnant at the time, that can result in the incident being a felony -- i.e., aggravated battery.

Will I get convicted of a DUI if I was sleeping in my car in my driveway and I was drunk?

Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
There are many cases with similar fact patterns. The essence of the crime is that you were in actual physical control of the car while you were impaired. This does not to be the case in your facts. They usually need to have a witness testify that you were driving the vehicle.

Can a Juror be found contempt if they refuse to take the Juror's Oath if they believe in Juror Nullification?

Cynthia Russell Henley
Answered by attorney Cynthia Russell Henley (Unclaimed Profile)

You should never get to that point. When you are being questioned during jury selection (voir dire), make your opinion known. The judge will grant a strike for cause on you because of your inability to take the oath.
