aggravated battery

Read a random definition: probation-violation warrant

A quick definition of aggravated battery:

Aggravated battery is a very serious type of hurting someone. It happens when someone hurts another person on purpose and causes a lot of harm. This can mean the person gets hurt very badly, loses a body part, or even dies. If the person uses a weapon, like a knife or gun, it is also considered aggravated battery. The person who does this can get in big trouble with the law and may go to jail for a long time.

A more thorough explanation:

Aggravated battery is a very serious type of battery. It happens when someone intentionally hurts another person without their permission and causes serious harm. This harm can be temporary or permanent, and can include things like disfigurement, loss of a limb, or even death.

When someone uses a weapon during an attack, it is usually considered aggravated battery. Weapons can be things like guns, knives, or even boots. Basically, anything that can cause harm is considered a weapon.

If someone is charged with aggravated battery, they will usually face a high level misdemeanor or felony charge. The severity of the charge will depend on the state and the specific circumstances of the crime.

  • Someone punches another person in the face, causing them to lose a tooth. This would be considered battery.
  • Someone stabs another person with a knife, causing them to need surgery. This would be considered aggravated battery.
  • Someone hits another person in the head with a brick, causing them to have permanent brain damage. This would also be considered aggravated battery.

These examples illustrate the definition of aggravated battery because they all involve intentional harm that causes serious injury. In the first example, the harm is not as severe and would only be considered battery. However, in the second and third examples, the harm is much more serious and would be considered aggravated battery.
