Description of Circumstantial Ad Hominem. A Circumstantial ad Hominem is a fallacy in which one attempts to attack a claim by asserting that the person making the claim is making it simply out of self interest.
Report Abuse. Depends. One charge, simple assault, can be up to one year jail if first offense.Can also be probation on top of that, community service, diversion classes ($), fines, even restitution to victim and civil suit.
Aggravated assault is a second degree felony. Thus, the range of punishment is from community supervision (with and without jail time as a condition), and the prison time is from two to twenty years in the Texas Department of Corrections As you might imagine there are numerable scenarios.
