FAQ
The intent is what allows you to consider it an assault claim. Essentially, a civil assault consists of any intentional, violent action that causes you to feel apprehension and physical harm. You do not even need to be fully struck for it to be considered a civil assault.
Assault is: an attempt, with unlawful force or violence, to do bodily injury to another; a threat, accompanied by a show of immediate force or violence, to do bodily injury to another; or.
The mistake that many defendants make is assuming that their charges will be dropped because their spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend has promised to ask the prosecution to drop all charges. In Utah, the victim does not have the power to stop a criminal prosecution.
The maximum sentence for common assault is six months' custody, but it is important to keep in mind that, if common assault is carried out against an emergency worker, or is racially or religiously aggravated, the sentences are more serious. In both of these cases, the maximum sentence is two years' custody.
The prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you committed the alleged assault. If there is little or no physical evidence, conflicting witness statements, or other weaknesses in the prosecution's case, your attorney may be able to argue for a dismissal of the charges.
Can I file or drop charges against someone? No private party, even a victim, can file or dismiss criminal charges. The County Attorney's Office is the sole agency responsible for filing and pursuing criminal charges.
Legal Standards and Proofs This standard is distinctly lower than the criminal requirement of 'beyond a reasonable doubt'. Plaintiffs must meticulously compile and present evidence, including eyewitness testimony, medical reports, and potentially video footage, to substantiate their claims.
