Long Beach, California is a beautiful city that includes one of the nation’s busiest ports and largest marinas, docking everything from the tiny sabot sailboat invented there, to the historic Queen Mary Ship. Standing next to elegant buildings where commerce takes place is the Pacific Ocean, sparkling like diamonds in the afternoon sun. Beautiful and busy, yet somewhat unknown as a travel destination, Long Beach is a jewel that offers something new on each look. Long Beach is one of those places that offers more than the beach as its draw. Downtown Long Beach has trendy shops, restaurants, an art district, and an awesome skyline that can be viewed atop the elegant Sky Room, or seen from Shoreline Village. California’s fifth largest city is filled with beautiful parks, golf courses, archery, lawn bowling, skateboarding, and various sports activities. Home to the Aquarium of the Pacific, Shoreline Village shopping and dining, the Water Taxi to the Queen Mary Ship, Russian Scorpion Submarine, and the Catamaran traveling to Catalina Island several times daily, this launching point offers lots of activities in one easy location.
Assault and battery cases are very serious crimes in the state of California. California law defines battery, which is sometimes referred to as assault & battery, under Penal Code Section 242 or Section 240, both misdemeanor violations. Under California law, battery is any willful and unlawful touch that is harmful, and/or offensive. The slightest touch of another person can trigger a battery allegation if it is done in an angry or offensive manner. Assault, on the other hand, doesn’t even require a touching; it merely requires that the person committing the offense intend to carry out the touching. Being arrested for assault and/or battery in Long Beach is often a terrifying experience. Anyone who is charged with either an assault or battery crime should make sure that they understand their legal rights and options when it comes to hiring a criminal defense attorney. Assault and battery consequences include probation, jail time, community service, and rehabilitation programs.
