I have a friend who assaulted a male in a road rage incident, fairly serious as my friend had significant training in martial arts. But with the right character references and a heap of persistence he obtained an ASIC. He had trouble renewing the ASIC each year for around 4 years, but since then has had no trouble. He started flying in 2006 and is now a S/O on the 777 for Virgin. I haven't any legal experience so can't help in that regard but the story above is accurate although vague. Good luck
