CALIFORNIA Domestic Violence DEFINITIONS

California Battery Charge
When the Defendant is charged with simple battery, the prosecution has the
burden to prove that:
1. The defendant willfully [and unlawfully] touched the victim in a harmful or
offensive manner;
AND
2. The defendant did not act in self-defense or in defense of someone else.

Someone commits an act willfully when he or she does it willingly or on
purpose. It is not required that he or she intend to break the law, hurt someone
else, or gain any advantage. The slightest touching can be enough to commit a
battery if it is done in a rude or angry way. Making contact with another
person, including through his or her clothing, is enough. The touching does not
have to cause pain or injury of any kind. [The touching can be done indirectly
by causing an object [or someone else] to touch the other person.] [It is no
defense to this crime that the defendant was responding to a provocative act
that was not a threat or an attempt to inflict physical injury.] [Words alone, no
matter how offensive or exasperating, are not an excuse for this crime.]
