Hello David Lee, thank you for the additional information. Can you please let me know the details of the incident that happened at Spaulding High School in Rochester, NH?
i was talking to my principal and there was a group of kids across the hall. The principal said I should probably go say something to those kids and the high school is also a middle school, and I said isn’t one of them a middle schooler the middle school started running at me, screaming very bad things, the principal put her arm out as the girl was running at me the girl got in my face. I grabbed it by the head and body slammed her. I felt threatened. She ran through a teacher to get to me. She grabbed at me, so I had to do what I had to do.
Based on your situation in Rochester, NH, you might face charges:
- Assault: You could be charged if it's determined that you used excessive force, even if you felt threatened.
- Disturbing the peace: If your actions disrupted the school environment.
Every case is unique, so we recommend seeking legal counsel.
why
Your actions could be seen as excessive force, especially with a minor involved. If your defense is self-defense, it should be proportionate to the threat. Disruption in a school environment could also be a violation. Legal counsel can help clarify these complexities.
she was * I’m * even so she broke through the principal to get to me assaulted her, so wouldn’t that be a way to fight
In New Hampshire, self-defense laws could potentially apply if you felt threatened. However, the force used must be 'reasonable' and 'proportional' to the threat faced. A lawyer can help you understand these terms and how they apply to your situation, which is complex due to your ages and the school setting.
well, she hasn’t press charges yet, but I just wanted to know the outcome if so.
If charges are pressed in Rochester, NH, the outcome will depend on several factors:
- The determination of whether your action was a reasonable response to the threat.
- The severity of the injury to the other party.
- Your prior record, if any.
It's best to consult with a local attorney for a more detailed understanding.
I don’t have a very good record and I didn’t hurt her. She just hit the ground and she went to attack me again, but I walked away, and the resource officer had to take her down.
Your prior record and the absence of severe injury to the other party might influence the case. However, the final decision will depend on the court's interpretation of the events. It's advisable to consult a defense attorney to ensure your rights are protected.
even my pass I’ve never hurt nobody.
I understand, David Lee. However, your past record and the incident at the school may be examined separately. It's important to seek advice from a defense attorney. Would you like help finding one in Rochester, NH?
