Redskins Diehard Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Simple assault is a pretty mundane charge isn't it? Could he be charged with that for saying "i'm gonna kick your ass"? Seems like if he actually hit the guy he would have been charged with Battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like if he actually hit the guy he would have been charged with Battery. legal lesson for the day From a legal standpoint, assault and battery often form one charge against a suspect. However, some suspects may merely be charged with assault. Anyone who is charged with battery, however, is essentially also guilty of assault. The difference between assault and battery lies in the definition of the terms. In legalese, assault is any reasonable threat to a person. The person who is committing the assault does not have to actually touch a person. But a reasonable and immediate threat to the person being assaulted must exist for a claim of assault. Battery, on the other hand, requires contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it seems to me that if a 340+ pound guy got out of his car and hit another driver then he wouldn't have been charged with "simple assault".

Would seem that if there is verified contact would be elevated to assualt AND battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonOfWashington Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 He was probably tailgating because he refused to line up in the middle wanted to stay on the end. I chuckled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Can you imagine what happens in that moment where you realize that the man you flipped off is an unstable 350 pound, all pro football player and that man is angrily approaching you?

texasthunder Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 So I guess Haynesworth was coming home from the bar ?? The time frame sounds just about correct. Hell, if it was a Honda Civic, why didnt AH just turn the car over on its side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B55Green Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Funny part about this thread is reading everyone calling him a POS etc. When I can pretty much guarantee if someone flicked most of you off you would have at least cussed them out and looked for a confrontation. Haynesworth clearly has anger problems, which he has admitted to many times. Poor decision on his part, but to just let the guy who instigated it all slide too isn't right. Both should go down in the books IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
