the statement goes on to say he is represented by scott richardson of west palm beach and kendall coffey of miami. all right. let's talk for a second, danny, about this charge. how serious is it? >> in the world of criminal charges, it's less serious than others. it is misdemeanor battery. in this case, the maximum penalty, the statutory maximum is up to a year in jail and a year probation and of course fines. in the criminal charges it is one of the lower rungs. but for someone in a high-profile position like this individual any criminal conviction has serious collateral consequences. >> in the statement, he says he was not arrested. he was issued a notice to appear and given a court date. so does that mean he was not arrested? >> florida rules allow for a criminal case to begin in one of two ways, either by a physical arrest or you can issue a notice to appear, which is just a written order to appear in court. you have still been charged but you have not been physically arrested. if you look at the charging documents, the document s released, you will see the form says "arrest/notice t

blake points i've got a pretty good lawyer, a guy named kendall coffey. on the other side of this, with one said at a time. wisconsin is next. in my mind, everyone who has had donald trump can get 1237 before the convention have penciled him in winning wisconsin and winning at it. i'm not sure this happens after the endorsement. the mac i don't think it's happening. ted cruz i think there's a good chance -- it's not a winner take all state. he's going to deny some votes no matter which way it comes out. there's a good chance that cruz will win wisconsin. charles: you think the establishment waited too little too long. rubio wants his name off the ballot to help ted cruz. all of the losers trying to rally around ted cruz. there's a chance at kasich may join for dual ticket. that's the speculation. remember a month ago kasich wanted to be trump's vp. >> they don't match up on immigration, donald and kasich. why did i always think donald was not going to make it this far? a lot of reasons including the fact image state people average 38% and i thought for su

and they have kendall coffey on this case which means they have one of the best. >> they do.n florida, as with many states, the threshold for battery is so low. in florida all you need is an intentional touching that is unconsented to. in florida law is clear, you do not need to injure or harm the person to get a conviction. just that intentional touching, without permission, will suffice. in many of these cases, it's often the case you have the uncorroborated testimony of a complainant. this is a case by contrast where you have a complainant statement in addition to video evidence and then in addition to that some audio evidence as well. if you are playing defense, your position is this is a crowded event. it was a bit chaotic. not like you are a a library. there are a lot of people and the law allows for a privilege, defense of a third party. if you reasonably perceive some kind of force about to be applied to even a third party you may use reasonable force in defending them. you can meet force with equal force. that's probably going to be the defense here. >> force with eq
