Daubertâs reception at the state court level has been mixed. As precedent, Daubert is not binding on state courts, but the Frye rule that it replaced was also a federal pronouncement that, over time, found adoption in most state courts as the general standard for admissibility of scientific evidence.
A person commits misdemeanor assault by improperly causing someone else to suffer a âphysical injury.â The injury must have been caused either intentionally or recklessly. Misdemeanor assault can also occur if a person negligently (carelessly) injures someone else by using a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument.
The law considers an assault and battery to be an invasion of the personal security of the victim for which the wrongdoer is required to pay for damages.
