That i found on a minnesota law site (didn't know you lived in colorado).
Here's the actual difinition:
631:2 Second Degree Assault. –
I. A person is guilty of a class B felony if he:
(a) Knowingly or recklessly causes serious bodily injury to another; or
(b) Recklessly causes bodily injury to another by means of a deadly weapon, except that if the deadly weapon is a firearm, he shall be sentenced in accordance with RSA 651:2, II-g; or
(c) Recklessly causes bodily injury to another under circumstances manifesting extreme indifference to the value of human life; or
(d) Purposely or knowingly causes bodily injury to a child under 13 years of age; or
(e) Recklessly or negligently causes injury to another resulting in miscarriage or stillbirth.
II. In this section:
(a) "Miscarriage'' means the interruption of the normal development of the fetus other than by a live birth and not an induced abortion, resulting in the complete expulsion or extraction of a fetus; and
(b) "Stillbirth'' means the death of a fetus prior to complete expulsion or extraction and not an induced abortion.
Anyways laws are just the guidelines to what someone can actually be punished for. There are MANY factors that could change the charge/fine (ex:age,weapons,relations,intentions,the harm caused, and so on.)
The judge will be the one to throw the actual punishment. Don't tell me I don't know what I'm talking about niggers.
