Video: Facing Battery or Text Message Threat charges in Tampa?

Facing battery or text threat charges in Tampa? Board Certified Expert W.F. Casey Ebsary Jr. explains why jury instructions decide your case.


As a Board Certified Criminal Trial Lawyer in Tampa, I know firsthand that facing charges for battery, stalking, or text message threats can feel overwhelming. However, many people don’t realize that police reports don’t decide your case—juries do. Under Florida law, accidental contact is not a battery because the state must explicitly prove intent beyond a reasonable doubt.


Text Message: “It was a Joke…”


Furthermore, a text threat sent as a joke can still be prosecuted as a serious felony. That is why I meticulously prepare every defense strategy with the final jury instructions in mind. Do not leave your future to chance or guess about your rights. If you face criminal allegations, explore my lawyer profile or connect immediately via my online contact page to safeguard your freedom.
