This was at a hardcore heavy metal show in VT
My son(19yrs) got a somons(ticket) for agravated assault and I dont know what to do..He was at a concert and tryed to break up a fight when he was punched from behind so he hit the person closest to him causing a brokin nose and a brokin cheek bone in 2 places.there are witnesses(against my son) that saw what happened even though it was very dark.The person who recieved the 2 punches is only 14 or 15(son said he looked alot older).Well the local police did not arrest my son because he went back to NY but the police did ask him to appear the next day(police showed in at the hospital in NY,my son broke his hand) at the vermont police station,which he did,they made him write down what happened and he signed it,he wrote he hit the kid once in the head and once in the face.My son said he tried to break up the fight but gended up getting cought in the middle of the fight.....Then they gave him a appereance ticket for agravated asault.The police did not read him his rights,or ask him if he needed a lawyer.He has to appear next month in court and I dont know what he should plea,guilty or not guilty because he was not the only person who hit this other person.Know one else was giving a ticket just him??I dont know what to do.Also I went to VT police station to get a copy of the police report and the police said they have up to 30 days to do that..that dont make since to me...I dont have any money to get a good lawyer neither does my son.He is a good kid with a good heart until he got mixed up with wrong people.Before all this happened he said he wanted out of the band,he just got a job and was getting his life together(for once)but he had to go do one more show.ANY GOOD ADVICE out there.....I'd like to see him pay for all that he did(if he did it) but I'm worried he will end up in jail............thanks for any help you can offer me..I know this is hard to read because I"m not good a writing stuff...I thank you.. need4speedic@aol.com..............thanks,Phil
he has to appear in court june 5th and the ticket was issued may 12th,we need the police report and I'm afraid there going to change the report to favor the DA and not be fair about this.Yes I do feel relly bad about the other kid also,I've been in his shoes but I did'nt press charges because I had a big mouth back then and learned my lesson as my dad said.I never every had that big mouth again and my nose is still crooked,lol...
