Can I press charges on a person that has charged me with assault and battery?

Many times in assault and battery cases there are cross warrants-both parties press go to the magistrate to press charges against the other person.

Does the driver or passenger who is in the accident count as eye wittniss or not???

Anyone who saw the accident can testify as an eyewitness-drivers, passengers, or bystanders. Contact a DC attorney as soon as possible.
