Domestic Assault charges in Kansas City
Domestic Assault charges are serious and could lead to a jail term up to 90 days and/or fine on a first offense. While the accused enjoys the presumption of innocence, any physical evidence on the victim, ie bruising or marking, will be used against the accused at trial. The accused should consider a plea agreement if his attorney is able to secure a favorable agreement whereby the original charge is reduced to a less offensive charge, such as Disorderly Conduct.
