Wondering if countersue charges can stick on me if filedAge 21, State: Virginia. I went to Wal-mart yesterday with my twin brother and this kid(age 22, i am 21) that I don't get along with was there and saw me and said he was gonna "call his boys." His girlfriend was with him. I just ignored him and kept shopping. When I got outside and was walking with my groceries to my car he ran from across the parking lot at me with his 2 friends. He started bumping up against me getting in my face. I told him 'you're not gonna do anything, get on' and then pushed him to get him off of me, and then he started swinging at me and i just tried to cover up and avoid and didn't swing back, then he stopped after about 45 seconds of attacking me and backed off a little, and i said "you can't even fight, just go away." Then he spit in my face and I started swinging at him but he backed off and I believe I just hit his arms, then I said "why are you running now" and he yelled "the police are coming" and turned away and ran off to his car while i chased after him and his girlfriend tried to intervene. My question is, if I press charges on him for assault and he files counter charges on me for assaulting him, can his charges he file on me stick and screw me over? I have people who witnessed the fight and a huge scratch on my back from him also, Thankyou. |

| Please don't waste taxpayer money on this. You and this man assaulted each other and in my opinion, each of you is equally criminally responsible for your physical assult of the other. |

Sounds like 'mutual combat' to me.

Why has he spent over $1.35M in legal fees to block disclosure... rather than spend $12 for a VALID birth cert to settle the matter? The 'certificate' he has presented doesn't qualify to get a drivers license, wouldn't allow a child to qualify for Little League, or for a real citizen to get a US passport! |

| I agree with las365, but, if you do sue, *immediately* send a letter to Walmart to protect the evidence. They almost assuredly have a video of the altercation.

| A subpoena can be had after suit is filed. A letter can serve as notice that the evidence is needed. If the holder of the evidence destroyed it can result in sanctions for destruction of evidence. Preservation of evidence letters are very common in lawsuits which will have electronic discovery. Look it up. Further your knowledge.

A letter to someone else, especially a POSSIBLE third party (not to the lawsuit) does nothing except let them know that you would LIKE them to do, or not do, something. It is not legally binding and failure to comply with the LETTER has no legal consequence.

| Spoilation letters are pretty common in electronic discovery.
