What is the worst that can happen to my friend for assaulting a police officer?

More details to this question:
He's going to court Monday and we have no idea what to be expecting. Basically he got in a fight with another dude and a police officer tried to break it up and he jacked the police guy in the face. I don't think he meant it but I doubt that matters.

A skilled criminal defense attorney would need to discuss this matter with your friend in greater detail, & ask him many questions, in order to give him the proper legal advice he needs (& possibly a quote to represent him). He should schedule a consultation ASAP. Once the case is resolved to his satisfaction, he'll be glad he paid the money to hire an attorney & properly protect his legal rights.

Assaulting a police officer is a serious offense in that it is a C felony which carries up to 10 years of incarceration, some of which may be a mandatory prison sentence. Your friend needs a criminal defense attorney immediately, best if retained before court. This is a very serious charge.
