Aggravated battery is an extremely serious criminal charge that carries the possibility of stiff penalties, including a period of incarceration in state prison. Florida Statute 784.045 defines aggravated battery as a crime where a person who, in committing battery, “intentionally or knowingly causes greatly bodily harm, permanent disability, or permanent disfigurement” or uses a deadly weapon. A person can also commit aggravated battery if the victim of battery was pregnant at the time or if the “offender knew or should have known the victim was pregnant.”
The charge of aggravated battery is a second-degree felony and provides for a maximum of fifteen (15) years in prison and a $10,000 fine. If you or a loved one are facing an aggravated battery charge, you need someone to advocate for your rights, and this is a Miami criminal defense lawyer.
