Assault is to threaten another with harm, or to cause someone to feel that they will be harmed by your actions. When you intentionally or recklessly cause harm to another you have committed battery. Battery also includes offensive contact. You do not have to harm someone to have committed battery. When you threaten to beat someone up you are assaulting them. When you actually beat them up you are committing battery. When you threaten to spit on someone you are assaulting them. When you spit on someone you are committing a battery. When you threaten to touch them against their wishes you are assaulting them. When you actually touch them against their wishes you have committed battery.\n\nThere are also degrees of battery and of assault. You can committ assault, and/or battery without it being a crime. But you also can committ the crimes of assault, battery and assault and battery. I hope this helps...

Was it a related charge?  ie 1st degree murder to 2nd degree murder?  Then there's no material change in the charges and it can proceed.  If they went from shoplifting to assault and battery though they'd have to give time to prepare a defense to that since that was not the orginial charge.

Had the same situation happen to me.  I broke up a fight and was charged with battery.\n\nEverything was dropped once sanity was restored though.  As long as you didn't bash anybody too severely and backed off as soon as things were stopped you should be good.

It is very seldom enforced, but it is called "Verbal Assault" and it can be prosecuted. It normally gets dropped for sake of other charges that are bigger. The best thing to do when someone is being verbally belligerent towards you is nothing. Give them no response at all and don't do anything for them. If they ask why, tell them. Sooner or later they get the hint or go somewhere else.

On a battery, you have two terminals- a positive and a negative.  As a result, the net charge is 0.  Also, a battery is the source of 'power' in an electrical circuit, it is direct current (DC) instead of alternate(ing) current (AC).  The battery produces a certain number of Volts and from that, you can find the current at different points in the circuit, as well as the number of amps.  (I hope this is what you are talking about)
