About Battery Charges & Penalties

Battery is defined as the actual and intentional striking or touching of another person, or intentionally causing physical injury to another person. Simple battery is a first degree misdemeanor, an offense punishable by imprisonment for up to 1 year. If the defendant has a prior conviction for battery on his or her record, he or she will face third degree felony charges and a potential 5-year prison sentence. Aggravated battery is a second degree felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison and involves battery committed with a deadly weapon, against a pregnant woman, or causing great bodily harm or permanent disfigurement/disability.
