Answer

You probably want to confer with your attorney before you putt the facts of your case out on a public forum such as this. Either one of you can admit to whatever, but let’s keep our eyes on the prize. You are the one charged with the assault. The question is: did you intentionally, knowingly or recklessly cause bodily injury to another. Who took what pill, who called whom, who said what…whatever. On the night in question, you either caused her bodily injury or you didn’t. If you never touched her, have a trial. If you touched her and caused injury, your are either guilty of the offense, or you must claim the touching and subsequent injury was done in self defense. Go over the facts of the case with your attorney and go from there.
