整体来讲,刑事伤人案件分为4大种类
- 普通刑事伤人(common assault)
- 刑事伤人并且造成实质性人身伤害(assault occasioning to actual bodily harm)
- 刑事伤人并且造成严重人身伤害(assault occasioning to grievous bodily harm)
- 最后是最严重的死亡类型罪名。
该文主要探讨的是前三种刑事伤人罪名。刑事伤人留下的刑事案底比交通案件地案底要严重地多 – 家暴引留下的刑事案底甚至会造成签证被取消。
1. 普通刑事伤人Common Assault
Common Assault 是最普遍的刑事伤人罪名,一般是任何争执而造成的肢体上的冲突,如果警察介入,都会涉及到至少一方被控 common assault。Common Assault 对于被告行为的要求也很低 – 甚至轻轻地推一下都会有 common assault 的责任,所以一定要非常小心。但是由于 common assault 的犯罪性质很低,我们代理的客人很少会有人留下案底。
2. 刑事伤人并且造成实质性人身伤害Assault – Actual Bodily Harm (ABH)
ABH的严重等级在common assault之上,被告行为的要求在common assault的基本要求以外,也需要证据来证明受害者遭受的实际性的肢体伤害,例如:指甲划破的皮肤、鼻子流血、身体上因为肢体冲突的淤青等。虽然我们代理的很多ABH的客户仍然成功获得没有任何案底的结果,ABH本身已经是一项非常严重的罪状,绝对不可以掉以轻心。如果您被起诉ABH,您一定要选择律师来帮您解决,因为有没有律师会决定您案件的结果。
3. 刑事伤人并且造严重人身伤害Assault – Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH)
GBH在澳大利亚的刑事法律体系里是十分严重的刑事罪名。如果您或者您的亲人涉及到GBH,您可能需要考虑的第一步是保释,之后,您需要一个十分有经验的律师团队来对警方的起诉进行应诉。最后,如果您是外籍人士或者PR永久居民,如被定罪,您的签证很可能会被取消,所以您一定要重视这类案件,如需法律咨询请联系我们。
