Will Smith‘s slap seen around the world at the Oscars was clearly a crime, lawyer Matt Fakhoury says, but the chances of prosecution are slim and even if convicted he’d likely face little more than a slap of his own – on the wrist.

Smith left millions of witnesses stunned Sunday when he marched onto the stage of the Dolby Theatre and smacked Chris Rock in the face after the comedian made a joke about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who was sitting with the actor in the front row.

The Los Angeles Police Department has said it was aware of the incident but was not investigating because Rock declined to file a police report.

While police could technically open an investigation based on the Academy Awards broadcast, they wouldn’t do so without Rock’s participation.

Domestic battery is a type of crime in Illinois (and in many other states) that requires the victim to be a family or household member of the alleged perpetrator. Really, what that means is that it’s the crime of committing battery against someone you live with or have a familial relationship with.

If you’re convicted of domestic battery, you’ll have a permanent criminal record – one that you can’t expunge or seal. Convictions for domestic battery and aggravated domestic battery don’t “drop off” your criminal history, and you can’t have them cleared through expungement or sealing.

Picture this… in fact, the same situation (or a similar situation) may have happened to you.

Your spouse or other family or household member and you got into a physical fight. Someone, like a friend or family member, or maybe even a neighbor, called the police. Your loved one was taken off to jail, and you gave a statement to the police.

But now, you don’t want your loved one to get into any trouble.

An order of protection is a court order, and it can stop you from doing the things you’d normally do every day. In many domestic battery cases, the person who’s been accused of battery is the one a judge issues an order against.
