<blockquote> | |||
"<b>Aggravated battery</b> This is a much more serious charge. Like a simple battery, the prosecution must prove that you intended to make contact with the victim, that the victim did not consent, and that the victim suffered some kind of harm. In addition, they will usually need to prove that you intended to cause harm. An even more serious degree of aggravated battery will require great bodily harm. Permanent disfigurement, serious bodily injury, permanent disability, or possible risk of death are some of the ways an injury is considered great bodily harm. Sometimes, if you use a dangerous weapon or a deadly weapon like a gun or a knife in the battery, it will automatically count as aggravated, even without grave bodily harm. If the circumstances are severe enough, you could face an attempted murder charge or a sentencing enhancement."<ref name="tuthil2023">{{REFweb | |||
