Non-consensual Contact in Liberty County GA

Unwarranted contact can be made with either a person or that persons extended personality. This means that when a person jumps forward and yanks the watch off another, a battery has occurred, even though the first person did not actually touch the hand of the latter. When the act was preceded with an intent to cause the latter to apprehend a likely violent pulling of the watch, both an assault and a battery are committed. If the suspect only intended an assault causing the latter to apprehend a likely violent yank of the watch however did not intend to actually complete the violent yank, but somehow his hand made contact with, and actually pulled off the watch, both an assault and a battery have been committed. If during the process of physically gesturing to violently yank the watch off, contact is actually made and the watch is pulled from the latters hand, a battery has been committed.
