What is the name of your state? NY
REcently arrested for Assualt 2 since I allegedly hit a kid in the mouth with a beer bottle.
He and his brother started a fight inside the bar with my group of friends and were escorted out the door. Upon removal from the bar, they were stating they were going to get us outside. We waited 20-30 minutes before leaving to avoid confrontation but they met us at the door. We had to leave because the bar was closing.
The guy was chest to chest with my friend, another guy was pointing at me about 5 feet away threatening to kick everyone's asses and a third person was somewhere behind me. All I remember is getting knocked to the ground and had to fight my way back to my feet. A witness says he saw me hit the kid with the bottle first but it happened so fast I can't recall.
IS this a form of self defense because I felt threatened outside the bar and my witnesses can confirm they started the fight inside the bar? In my friends statement, he even stated he felt he would have to defend himself. If not a self-defense argument, should I take a plea of no jail time if offered. My brother saw me with the bottle but I certainly didn't mean to kill anyone and that is what they are claiming.
Also, the kid I hit was only 20 and drinking in this bar. Legal age is 21 in NY. Does this help me in any way?
Any advice is appreciated.
