San Bernardino County Domestic Battery Defense Attorneys

Penal Code 243(e)(1) -- Domestic Battery Criminal Defense Attorneys

California Penal Code 243(e)(1) PC is a battery committed upon a spouse, former spouse, cohabitant, parent of the defendant's child, fiancé, or anyone with whom the defendant has (or previously had) a dating relationship. California Penal Code Section 243(e)(1) PC domestic battery is a misdemeanor and carries a penalty of up to one year of county jail.

Penal Code 243 e 1 is similar to Penal Code 273.5, except that it does not require the "traumatic condition" element. That is to say, the prosecutor need not show that there was a visible injury to the victim. If police respond to the scene, and arrest the suspect but do not observe any bleeding, redness, swelling or scratches, the prosecutor will most likely charge Penal Code 243(e)(1) rather than the more serious Penal Code 273.5.
