To convict you of corporal injury on a spouse, the prosecution will have to prove ALL of the following elements:
• You willfully inflicted the injury
• The person you hurt was your spouse, cohabitant, or co-parent
• The injury resulted in a traumatic condition
If the prosecution cannot prove all of these elements of the offense, then you cannot be convicted of corporal injury on a spouse.
You will need to consult with a criminal defense lawyer if you want to know more about possible defenses and how they will apply in your case.
