hmm, dont run with only ten k amigo, i would advice you to get the best attorney you can with that ten k, fight it, prolly get it reduced some more, and next time you gotta realize the choice your making when you hit the dude...yes it sucks to be spit on, yes it sucks even more to do nothing, but that may have been yoiur best bet with what sounds like some priors...obviusly hindsight is 20/20, just my 2 cents, stay outta trouble and fight it
