**UPDATE**...uh-oh i'm in trouble

i just got back from the police station. thy called me last night and asked me to come down so thy wouldn't have to arrest me. they're gonna charge me with criminal threatening. the guy wouldn't let it go and they have no choice. they tried to tell me that i'm "lucky" that it's not assault as well. i'm still trying to figure out who's the lucky one..me or that guy...... anyway, it's my word against his and i'm gonna get a good lawyer. he was trying to say that i really grabbed and violently shook him, thankfully the store video proved him to be a LIAR!!!! the way i look at it is that it's worth a minor ding in my record to get an apology for my daughter. now i have to be real careful because i'm sure i'll run into him 27,000 times before the hearing....f***ing loser

your lawyer might tell you this, but if he actually made a statement to the police that you violently shook him and the video shows you didnt....well, push for charges of lying to the police be brought against him. This does happen to be illegal. you can't lie in a statement or under oath. If you can get it to fly, I bet the whole thing disappears.

Just like jeff said. Press charges on HIS ass...Oh, jeff by the way thanks for the help with my girl! :)

You can also sue him for false prosecution in a civil court, and not to mention what jeff said, perjury. Look at what is happening to that woman that lied about the lottery.

Making a false statement to the police (according to the video store camera) is a misdomener..

Assault on a minor is also...

Just my experience..

youll get his name and address in the court case,just post it,well take care of em

Filing a false police report
Assault on a minor

Nail his ass!

What is the original post called? What happened? What's the story?

It's somewhere at the top...just called "uh oh i'm in trouble." Some guy was being a dick to his daughter in a store...refer to thethread.

If he lied about your assulting him and the store tape showed different then his credibility is gone.
This will be brought up in court by your lawyer. He lied then, so he's lying now and can't be trusted.

call and talk with the DA, probably an ADA actually handling your case. Tell them the story first...then decide if legal representation is necessary. The cops charging you doesn't mean anything really. Accused and convicted in a court of law are two way different things.

I have many friends that are attorneys...and I still hate attorneys. But in situations like this, an attorney can fix everything real quick like. Worth every penny in the long run.

There's nothing wrong with what you did...but you did break a law when you touched his person. Justified to all of us..."definitely", but you may have to go through some motions to make it go away. Look at it this way...if you had it to do all over again, would you do the same exact thing? I would personally and not even think twice about it.

Sometimes life throws some curve balls your way...don't have regrets for the doing the right thing in those situations. Just do what you have to do to move on.

Good luck with it and keep us updated.

peace,

ttgb

i really appreciate all the input. i'm gonna try and talk to the prosecuting attorney about it. i'll let you know what happens. and to answer any questions, YES it was worth it and i would do it again.....maybe in the parking lot where nobody is around...heh, heh, heh.

Dont take him to court bro it isnt worth the time and effort. You have to take the risk of possibly not winning and being stuck with the lawyer fees. I'm a criminal justice major and to be honest I'd plea bargain it to see what you can get it down to. You said you weren't arrested right? Well thats all what counts to be honest. Plea bargain it then plea bargain it some more and threaten them to go to trial with it before you even move with a lawyer. It's bargaining remember that it's no different then you trying to get the price down on something you want. Just happens to be your life this time. But if you stand firm in your plea bargain than most likely they will drop it further or the douchebag taking you to court will drop the charges. One of those two will happen...I'm betting the charges will be dropped.

And when i say dont take him to court I mean dont take him to civil court. NOT CRIMINAL
