Answer 1

You can get a lawyer and try to tell your story to the judge to explain why you did what you did but it might not work because of the REST OF THE STORY. There is more detail to the story that has been left out like what happened in between the time you "started fighting" and when the cops showed up. Who called the cops? How long did things go on before they got there? What happened when they got there?

Without these details I am forced to make some assumptions and those would be that the problem that led to this charge was not within the part of the story that you told. The problem was when you continued to fight, yell, scream, carry on etc and it disrupted the neighborhood. If you two had gone your separate ways immediately it would not have led to this. While in the part of the story you tell (if it is the whole truth) I do not think any of your actions were wrong, there is obviously more to the story.

If I am right in my assumptions or at least somewhat right then you still may have a chance. If you can convince the judge that you realize that things got out of control but that you at least started out as innocently just trying to protect your kids and your property and things escalated from there, the judge may give you a break.

Answer 2

You are entitled to defend your home and property. Get a good lawyer to assert your rights. If your account is correct, this person was trespassing to start with. If your account is correct, childrens aid should be investigating the threats against your child. I do not understand how you were both hauled off to jail from your yard. Was alcohol involved in any way?

Answer 3

my 13 year old was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct after being attacted at school by a known bully. My sons teacher witnessed the event and even rewarded my son with a gift card for trying to walk off twice. My son was still suspended and charged even though he never swung once according to the teacher. The school is telling me they have no choice but to charge both but I dont understand how they can do this when one of their own teachers says my son tried to walk off and never swung a punch.

Answer 4

Sorry, your tale will probable carry not extra weight with the choose than it does with me. You have been quietly chatting with human beings, then once you observed the police you went interior to conceal? Yeah, i've got self belief you, and so will the choose. Resisting arrest has no longer something to do with what you have been doing formerly they tried to arrest you. The testimony of the 'horde' of cops which you fought them is sufficient to convict. Your bruises certainly toughen their tale which you probably did face up to. Sorry, yet once you run from police they are going to run once you, through fact trustworthy human beings do no longer try this. they are going to then forcibly detain you. in case you may no longer arise with the money for a criminal expert, one would be provided via the courtroom.

Answer 5

INNOCENT..!!!

You were protecting your child from an angry, obviously insane woman who raised her hand toward your child. NUFF SAID.

She showed intent to harm your child. You did what any property owner, and mother would have done and probably far less. I would have grabbed her by her hair and dragged her off my property.

Sue her @ss

Edit: At the very least, get a restraining order on her.

Answer 6

You should have taken your children inside and called the police. You set a really bad example for them.

You probably will be found not guilty of anything, but it would have been far easier to let the police do their job and handle it. If you are found guilty and it is your first offence you will get probation.

Answer 7

I'd just maintain that I thought I was defending my kids. If she was on your property, and you told her to leave, and she threatened your children, I think you may have a pretty strong argument.
