Charged with 2nd degree threat to do bodily harm.

I think I provided you with a link to the wrong law. Here is another link (PC 120.14):

We don't know what the OP was charged with so it's hard to say at this point. The charge she originally referenced does not exist.

She needs to provide the actual section of the law she was charged with violating (which you did ask for).

By the way, we don't call it "PC" in NY - it's "PL".

Ah, New York. Always has to mix things up.

No, much of the rest of the country has it mixed up!

Hahaha. Spoken like a loyal New Yorker.

I looked over the summons I do not see anything that says section.

Do you have your ticket?

It appears that, with your attorney mentioning the possibility of 30 days in jail, you have been charged with a Class A misdemeanor.

Your attorney will know if the charge can be reduced or dismissed or if you could be eligible for a diversion program that keeps the charge from appearing on your criminal record.

Good luck.

I have the summons

 

[quincy]

I have the summons

It doesn't appear from what you found that the charge is noted on the summons. You can ask your attorney what exactly you are charged with so you can look up online the elements of the crime.

 

[Zigner]

Dad could file for a restraining order and the OP could be forced out in hours very short order...

 

[HighwayMan]

I have the summons

Is it green in color? Does it say "appearance ticket" on top somewhere?

The charge must be on there.

 

[angelamarie213]

The charge is PL 2

It is white and it is a criminal summons it says 10JDS Criminal Summons.
The charge is PL 240.26 01
The charge is harassment 2nd Physical Contact

Oh. That is relatively good news that I sort of circled around with my previous links.

There is no 30-day-in-jail penalty for this violation. A 15 day jail sentence is possible (but not probable).

Because PL 240.26 is a violation, it does not become part of your criminal record.

Here is yet another link (this one to the law you were actually charged under ):

I HAVE seen violations on criminal histories.

I HAVE seen violations on criminal histories.

So what does that mean as far as I am concerned?
