How to Beat an Aggravated Assault Charge in GA
According to the Georgia Court of Appeals, while O.C.G.A. 16-5-24 does not specify what constitutes a «significantly disfiguring» damage, it must be more severe than the visible wounds needed to demonstrate the «obvious bodily harm» required to establish a battery conviction. Williams v. State, 248 Ga.App. 316, 546 S.E.2d 546 S.E.2d 546 S.E.2d 546 S.E.2d 546 S.E. (2001). The Georgia Court of Appeals has also held that a judge’s failure to give accurate instructions to the jury regarding the injury issues required for a battery versus those required for an aggravated battery may involve reversible error because the issue of the severity of the injury is left to the jury to decide. Carroll v. State, 293 Ga. App. 721, 667 S.E.2d 708. (2008).

Difference Between Aggravated Assault and Battery

The battery is a felony committed when physical violence is used; threats and intimidation are considered assault. When a deadly weapon is involved in the conflict or when someone threatens to commit a crime, the term «aggravated» is used.
Aggravated assault is a felony of the third degree, while Aggravated Battery is a felony of the second degree. To be termed aggravated assault, someone must instill terror in another person, even if there was no purpose to cause them pain.
These terms are complex and each case varies. To learn more about your charges, contact Philip Kim Law today.
