FAQ
Unlike common law, Maryland criminal statutes consider “assault” to include the crimes of assault, battery, and assault and battery. Assault is the attempted touching of a person without his or her consent, including under those circumstances where the person feels fearful that a touching will occur.
For example, the limitation period for assault, libel, or slander is one year. The clock on the statute of limitations time period usually starts running on the date you were harmed, but not always. There are times when the starting of the clock is delayed.
In some cases, there may be mitigating factors that support dropping or reducing charges before a court date. This could include self-defense, entrapment, or mental incapacity. The defense attorney will work to establish these circumstances and use them to negotiate with the prosecution.
If the court issues a final peace or protective order, how long does it stay on your record? If you contest either one and lose, the record of the entry of order stays forever.
If the contact continues, it could possibly be illegal and the victim making the contact could be charged with criminal harassment. A defendant that responds to unwanted communication from a victim can be charged with breaching the no contact order, whether he/ she responds to the communication directly or indirectly.
For those that wonder, no, the protected person can't be arrested for violating the order unless there are mutual restraining orders in effect. The restrained person is prohibited from certain activities, not the protected person.
85% of abuse victims reported life improvement after taking out a restraining order. More than 90% percent reported feeling better about themselves. 80% felt safer with a restraining order in place.
What Happens If the Victim Violates the Order of Protection? If a victim violates his/her own order of protection, the victim generally cannot be arrested. This is because the victim is not the subject of the restraining order and hence cannot be restrained.
Can I appeal a peace order? Yes, a peace order may be appealed to the Circuit Court in the county of the District Court that issued the judgment. The appeal will be heard "de novo," which means Petitioner must present their case all over again to the Circuit Court.
Maryland assault is broken down into two categories. There is assault in first degree and assault in second degree. The difference is that first degree assault is a felony with a maximum penalty of 25 years in jail. Second degree assault is a misdemeanor.
