So Max 1 year is jail and/or a fine of up to $2,500.00

Since I am being charged by the attacker and not the state, this should go very well for me.
actually, depending on how your state handles this shit, this won't even hit real court. it would most likely be stopped at grand jury, as the state must decide to prosecute for criminal charges (though, the other guy could still file against you in civil court, as a tort)
