Assault Case
I lost my temper with my colleague. He is so rude and arrogant. Besides, he is hated by all. I slapped his face with a paper punch and got a cut (not serious). The case is pending in the court.
Do you know of the common penalty given by the court on this particular case? Pls. reply.

A Paper Punch is not a slap ... ...It's attack with a deadly weapon. A slap is with an open hand and would problably have been laughed out of court. as it stands you'll be luck to get off with common assault!

Your comments really helped me. Some comments even made me laugh. They temporarily erased some of my worries.
If I had used a PAPER CLIP, I guess, the charge will be more lesser.
Thanks again!

What you did is GBH - quite serious and not a slap.

My father tried to stop him and he hit walkie talkie on my fathers jaw he is heart patient and 60 year how can a normal person do like this [removed by mod]

burakhan- sorry for what ...burakhan- sorry for what happened to you. But i think u already posted another thread about this. This is another case, jckeep claims to have assaulted a colleague.
jckeep- cant u settle this out of court. give your colleague a gift and offer a heartfelt apology. Atleast make it look heartfelt!
jckeep said
I have tried. Our top ...I have tried. Our top management people also tried. In fact he's been offered cash and many tried to convince him not to pursue the case. I don't have the option to settle it out of court. He is so determined to pursue the case. He believes he can put me in jail for three years, that's why I asked you about the common penalty given for this particular case.
He's just too good in acting and in words. He's a good liar. I don't know how to argue. I need good lawyers but I think they are too expensive to hire.
I would love to know if there are group of lawyers here in Qatar who provide free legal assistance. Hope you can help. Thank you.

jckeep, I dont know if ...jckeep, I dont know if justifying hitting someone with a hole punch just because he is an A-hole will stand up much in court. If this was the case I would clobber about 5 co-workers daily. You can be charged for giving someone the finger here, so I can only imagine what you will get for physical assault.
Pro bono work is also not common here, and the average hourly fee for a decent lawyer here in Qatar ranges from 800 QR per hour up to 1600 QR per hour, and lawyers log every second, even if you call them to ask them anything.
Good luck with your case....

Amoud, thank you for the ...Amoud, thank you for the info. Hope you have read my previous message in this thread... I take responsibility for my act. However, I believe the law provides mitigating sentence in the case of provocation. And that is what I am looking for. What I did is wrong and I am not looking for justification for acquittal but a mitigating sentence.
Thank you again.

hi super nurse ...a person who is straight and loyal all will hate that is what this wrold. here you know how to polish people and moove according to the situation. outside you will be humble but all crookedness will arise from this humbleness. i have same experience. those who speak on face will be hated by everyone.
narainbabu said
yes you deserve punishment. ...because most of the people who thinks after coming and making money they are the king. they can do anything with the influence of big people. it is wrong. let others also work and help them instead of creating problem. people like you should get punishment then only you people will learn lesson and do not repeat the same
smoke said
most probably they will just ...most probably they will just cut off your hand so u dont repeat this again and waste the time of the court :) OR u can go and talk to the A-hole again to take the case back, if he says NO...SLAP him again for good measure :)

jckeep - I just ...I just hope that what you did is worth all the bother you will get from such a reaction.
Other people hating him will not get you off lightly in court because this is a case of assault and battery.
I thought the paper puncher was for punching holes in paper not peoples faces.
