Understanding the Charges
Assault and battery — Maryland defines assault and battery as the unwanted touching of a person without his or her consent or acting in a way that is threatening, causing the victim to fear for his or her safety.
Domestic violence — In Maryland, domestic violence is assault and battery between family members.
Penalties for either crime vary depending on the degree of the charge — first, second, or third degree, etc. What degree is charged can depend on the severity of the injuries, whether a child was witness to the crime, and whether the defendant has prior assault and battery convictions. These factors are also taken into account in determining whether the charges will be filed as a misdemeanor or felony.
