Every state in the United States severely punishes an assault crime. Also, every state punishes an assault crime differently. In California, a simple assault is defined as an unlawful attempt, with a present ability to commit a violent injury to a person other than you. You don’t even need to commit the crime to be charged for simple assault.
Simple Assault can be charged as a misdemeanor and you can be fined up to a $1000 and jail time of up to 6 months. The fact that you don’t even have to injure one can make this law complicated. This is why some people are falsely accused or wrongfully arrested for simple assault.
