An assault charge in Alabama can be a misdemeanor or a serious felony. The difference usually comes down to three things: how badly someone was hurt, whether a weapon was involved, and who the alleged victim was.

Swipe through for how Alabama grades each degree, the charges prosecutors stack on top, and what's actually at stake.

If you've already been charged: don't talk to police without a lawyer, preserve photos, video, and witness names, and get counsel involved before charges are finalized.

BIRMINGHAM — Suspect in custody after West End Manor standoff
Birmingham police responded to an assault call on 18th Way SW on Tuesday. Officers used gas to remove a man from the home after a standoff. Police say the situation was tied to a mental health crisis, that the victim's injuries are non-life-threatening, and that there is no ongoing danger to the neighborhood.
What we'd tell someone in this position:
Stop talking. Not because you have something to hide — because the officers on scene are writing a report, and every statement you make becomes evidence they get to interpret.
Say the words clearly: "I want a lawyer. I'm not answering questions." Then stop.
Don't explain the crisis. Don't apologize. Don't try to clear it up. Get counsel first
