BB gun

[Taty0831]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL
My dad was arrested for supposely pointing a gun at somebody while driving. He was arrested and released on a $11,000.00 bond. He is being charged with three felonies, twice with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon with no intention to kill and once with posession of a fire arm. My dad did have a broken and unloaded BB gun in the car but claims that he never pointed the gun at anybody. We hired a lawyer and he said he was going to try to dismiss the case but we just learned that it wasnt possible so we just want to know what to expect regarding everything from trial, sentencing, etc.

It's quite a coincidence, don't you think, that someone accused your father of pointing a gun and he just happened to have a gun in his vehicle at the time. How did the reporting person know about the gun so they could make the accusation?

He goes to trial.
Both sides present their cases.
Court decides whether he is guilty or insufficient evidence to determine guilt.
If guilty, court assesses appropriate punishment.
