Assault is one of the easiest crimes to be charged with in Maryland. Consequently, and vicariously, it can be among the more difficult to defend against. There are, most unfortunately, few defenses to this crime --- other than " I didn't do it !" Getting a good criminal defense attorney to represent you when charged with assault is, therefore, of paramount importance
"Assault" has a pretty broad definition in Maryland. It is generally defined as an attempt to touch someone else without their consent. Using that definition, it is a "don't invade my personal space " crime. More often, however, the alleged "touching" (when it occurs) in question is an act of violence, such as a punch or threatening someone with a weapon.
The three more prominent defenses to assault are (1) there was no touching or contact ;(2) there was no intent to touch or make contact (it was an accidental touching); and (3) self- defense.
