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.
Second Degree Assault: Second degree assault charges will be brought if a dangerous weapon is used as part of the assault (as in Assault with a Deadly Weapon). A person convicted of second degree assault could face up to 7 years in prison and fines exceeding $10,000. If the assault charge includes a dangerous weapon as well as serious injury to the alleged victim, fines could climb and jail time could reach 10 years.
