ok story follows.......
girl harasses guy(calls, messages,visits)...comes to his house while he's sleeping..won't leave him alone...she grabs him, he tries to walk away..she keeps grabbing him and then pushes him..natural reaction(or whatever) he punches her..she kicks him in the mouth, he hits her again
he gets arrested...so im assuming he's getting charged with battery..is that considered simple battery??
but mostly, what type of lawyer would he need??
ive posted the louisiana law bellow(and yes, this happened in LA)--so what do you think will happen to him??
