But there could be a separate charge for battery or aggravated battery depending on Florida law. Generally, you have to show serious or "great bodily" harm to get the aggravated battery. Without proof of permanent disfigurement, or some other complication, I do not think I could charge agg battery on this.

Not to take a side in the dumb argument going on in this thread, but I find it pretty funny that banyon said essentially the same thing that planetdoc has been saying and got literally no response before mine.
Was he just more tactful in his statement, or are most of the people in this thread too dumb to understand him?
