How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that the victim’s testimony that he had muffled hearing for approximately two months after the attack was sufficient evidence of protracted impairment to his ear
  • holding that a reasonable jury could have concluded beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant acted knowingly when he kicked the victim while the victim was lying on the floor
  • noting that aggravated battery and battery resulting in serious bodily injury essentially require proof of the same severity of injury to the victim
  • holding those crimes were distinct because the Class B felony required a defendant knowingly or intentionally inflict injury, while the Class C felony required a defendant knowingly or intentionally touch, without knowing or intending injury would occur
  • rejecting an argument that Class B felony aggravated battery and Class C felony battery resulting in serious bodily injury violate the Proportionality Clause because, despite the overlap in the types of injuries encompassed within both offenses, the elements for the offenses were not identical
  • differences in requisite mens rea could rationally lead legislature to assign different sentences to crimes
