No One Was Hurt But I Am Charged With Domestic Violence In Michigan

In this video, I discuss how a Michigan resident can be charged with domestic violence where the victim has no physical injury. I receive a lot of calls from people and they say to me, “No one was hurt, how can they charge me with a DV?” Or I will hear, “I didn’t lay a finger on them.” When this happens, I have to educate the client on how a battery is broader than what the general public expects. In this video, I use the Michigan Model Criminal Jury Instructions to educate the viewer about a “no injury” battery or domestic violence charge.
