what exactly does aggrevated battery mean?

Question

does it mean she hurt the girl and scarred her? or what?

Answer 1

The act must result in one of two forms of contact. Causing any physical harm or injury to the victim—such as a cut, a burn, or a bullet wound—could constitute battery, but actual injury is not required. Even though there is no apparent bruise following harmful contact, the defendant can still be guilty of battery; occurrence of a physical illness subsequent to the contact may also be actionable. The second type of contact that may constitute battery causes no actual physical harm but is, instead, offensive or insulting to the victim. Examples include spitting in someone's face or offensively touching someone against his or her will.

Touching the person of someone is defined as including not only contacts with the body, but also with anything closely connected with the body, such as clothing or an item carried in the person's hand. For example, a battery may be committed by intentionally knocking a hat off someone's head or knocking a glass out of someone's hand.

When a battery is committed with intent to do serious harm or murder, or when it is done with a dangerous weapon, it is described as aggravated. A weapon is considered dangerous whenever the purpose for using it is to cause death or serious harm. State statutes define aggravated battery in various ways—such as assault with intent to kill. Under such statutes, assault means both battery and assault. It is punishable as a felony in all states.

Aggravated Battery Definition

Answer 3

An aggravated charge means the defendant did something extra to make the offense worse. For instace and example of aggravated battery would be battery with a harmful weapon such as a baseball bat.

Answer 4

Battery means basically to hit or hurt someone. Aggravated means a statutory enhancement to that simple definition. Common examples are assault with intent to kill, assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm, assault with a deadly weapon. The harm does not have to be permanent if the definition of the aggravated felony are met. Assault with a deadly weapon would apply if the victim were stabbed in a non-fatal location such as the hand so that the more serious felony of attempted murder would not apply. In the case of attempted murder, the lesser included offense of assault with a deadly weapon might also be added to the indictment or complaint to give the jury a choice.
