About this listen

Attorney Charles Schierer breaks down the legal difference between assault (the threat or apprehension of harm) and battery (the completed physical contact). Using an easy-to-understand example in a pub or a workplace scenario, he explains intent, immediacy, and when contact is accidental versus intentional. The episode also covers aggravated assaults and batteries—how weapons, serious injury, protected victims, public settings, or hate-motivated acts raise the severity and penalties. Charles Schierer is the managing partner at the law firm of Schierer & Ritchie, LLC in East Peoria, Illinois. Go to www.srtriallawyers.com for more information.
