legally speaking, assault is only verbalThe phrase verbal assault makes me mad
legally speaking, assault is only verbal
i know in common usage ppl equate assault with physical harm, but assault is the yelling, battery is when you actually put hands on someone.
if you just walked up to a dude and punched him and kept walking and never said anything, that would only be battery, no assault
