How far can one take with an assault charge if both parties are at fault?
Okay so basically my friend and i had an altercation with another girl where an alleged fight occurred. Later that night after our class (by the way the girl is in one our night classes) my friend and i went home. All of a sudden i started receiving numerous phone calls/texts from the girl. She was threatening and wanted to fight my friend, bec allegedly my friend had beat her up after class. She has no proof of this happening!! bt she kept calling my phone and harassing me instead. I basically got fed up and called her 2 days later and left her an angry voice mail where i also threatened her. Im not a violent person, i jus spoke outta anger when i called her. So now the girl has involved the authorities @ school and my friend and i have been temporarily suspended from our university. My question is how far can this go? are they allowed to keep me from going to my classes, if l have proof that she was harassing me as well? I might have threatened her for my own defense bec of her harassment, but i didn't act on them. What should i do? i don't want to fail the quarter or get kicked out.........anybody who has any advice please help!
Thanks alot!
To answer your question, no i haven't had a chance to tell my side of the story. I was notified today, this "incident" happened about 2 1/2 weeks ago...
Also is there anyway of getting back a deleted voice mail? ,maybe from the cellphone company, i accidentally deleted one when i got a new phone.

Make sure that you save all text messages that you got from her, even try and print them out if you can. Hopefully the situation will fizzle out and she won't pursue it any further, but if she does, you are going to need proof as to what led up to the threat.You don't want it to end up
being your word against your own threatening text that she saved. Plus get a record of your incoming calls from your cell phone company to show that she had been calling you repeatedly along with the texts. In the eyes of the law, they do take threats very seriously and your school has to take action once she complained because if they didn't and something really did happen to her than they would be liable. But like I said, hopefully she will chill out and be satisfied with the temp. suspension and get over it. Good Luck, and dont forget to compile your evidence just in case.

If she can prove that you threatened her (regardless of your anger), she can cause you a lot of problems. Your school could suspend you for it. However, you don't say whether or not you have had the opportunity to explain your childish actions. If not, do so. Explain that you were just angry because she had been harassing you prior to your phone call to her. It may or may not make a difference.
