If you are suspected of assault, this can appear on your summons in various forms, ranging from simple assault to aggravated assault or public violence. In case of suspicion of assault, you are, in short, suspected of causing another person pain or injury. Assault is punishable under the law with a maximum prison sentence of three years or a fine of the fourth category. If the offense results in severe bodily harm, the guilty party is punished with a maximum prison sentence of four years or a fine of the fourth category. If the offense results in death, the guilty party is punished with a maximum prison sentence of six years or a fine of the fourth category. However, national guidelines have been established for determining the sentence. Noordanus Advocatuur is familiar with these guidelines and can discuss them with you.
In the case of public violence, the offense is committed jointly with others, and it may not be entirely clear who delivered which blow or kick, but this does not necessarily have to be established for a conviction. However, the defendant must have made a substantial contribution to the violence committed. It is important that you have the assistance of a lawyer at the hearing so that you can provide legal defense against the suspicion against you.
