he wont plead guilty to agravated assault, cause then all his options go out the window... the only thing he'd plead guilty to would be a lesser charge in the context of a plea bargain.

they can't convict for AA with reasonal doubt, so he said/she said might be enough to keep him clear (might because of his track record)... if there are recorded witnesses (ie, making a 911 call) then he could be done (in studies witnesses are notoriously bad at remembering details even a couple days after an event, so basing an entire legal system off the validity of eye witness testimony is a generally bad idea... but recording 911 calls and taking same day statements (and making sure their story matches up in court) do alleviate some of the concerns (and liars tend to be very bad at keeping made-up details straight)).
