Holdings:
The Virginia
Court made the following holding:
- An
assault requires an overt act or an attempt, or the unequivocal appearance
of an attempt, with force and violence, to do physical injury to the
person of another. There is no requirement that a victim be physically
touched to be assaulted. A battery offense is the actual infliction of
corporal hurt on another, wilfully or in anger, whether by the party's own
hand, or by some means set in motion by him. The slightest touching of
another, if done in a rude, insolent, or angry manner, constitutes a battery
for which the law affords redress. An assault and battery is an unlawful
touching of another. It is not necessary that the touching result in
injury to the person. Whether a touching is a battery depends on the
intent of the actor, not on the force applied. Where there is physical
injury to another person, it is sufficient that the cause is set in motion
by the defendant, or that the victim is subjected to its operation by
means of any act or control which the defendant exerts. The law upon the
subject is intended primarily to protect the sacredness of the person,
and, secondarily, to prevent breaches of the peace.
