--------------------------------------------------------
(according to a MD attorney's website)
Second Degree Assault in Maryland
Elements of the Offense
There are three different forms of second degree assault in Maryland: intent to frighten assault, attempted battery assault, and battery.
In order to prove “intent to frighten” assault, the government must provide beyond a reasonable doubt: (1) that the defendant committed the act with an intent to place the other person in fear of either immediate physical offensive contact or physical harm, (2) that the defendant had the apparent ability, at the time of the incident, to bring about offensive physical contact or physical harm, and (3) that the other person reasonably feared immediate offensive physical contact or physical harm. If there is sufficient evidence to support a claim of self-defense, the government must also prove that the defendant’s actions were not legally justified.
Assault can also be an attempt to cause offensive physical contact or physical harm. In order to prove the “attempted battery” form of assault, the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt: (1) that the defendant actually tried to cause immediate offensive physical contact or physical harm to the other person, and (2) that the defendant intended to bring about offensive physical contact or physical harm. Again, if there is sufficient evidence to support a claim of self-defense, the government must also prove that the defendant’s action were not legal justified. Consent would be another defense.
Finally, assault can be defined as actually causing physical contact with another person. In order to secure a conviction for “battery” assault, the State must prove: (1) that the defendant caused offensive physical contact or physical harm to the other person, and (2) that the contact was the result of an intentional or reckless act of the defendant and was not accidental. Once again, the defendant can argue self-defense. Maryland Pattern Jury Instruction – Cr. 4:01.

Give the kid 2 weeks of detention (one for each lip involved in the "offense") and be done with it.Last edited by daflyboys; 09-14-2015, 12:55 AM.Comment

I don't get it, I never knew this was a crime.

Re: News that make you say WTF?
Going to refuse to get worked up over something that wasn't even investigated by the journalist and therefore we have zero details about what happened. You can try to make anything sound innocent enough. Maybe this kid and his jackass friends had made this girl's life hell for years and this whole incident was the last straw. We don't know, what we do know is that it was serious enough to call the cops, and it was serious enough to turn that over to the DA, and the DA's office felt it was serious enough to go to such extremes. Now, either all these people are being unreasonable and malicious, or there are facts they know that weren't presented in this little 90 word article.Comment

Either way, what makes it absolutely funny to me, is that it immediately made me think of the Engineer's Hymn, that was our unofficial fight song... (if you look it up, you'll understand) lol.

Re: News that make you say WTF?
Just happen to be watching FoxNews and they're doing a story on it. Apparently he grabbed her shirt and gave her tongue. Ok, I can live with a misdemeanor on that. If someone would have done that to my daughter, I'd want him castrated, of course.Comment

Re: News that make you say WTF?
So apparently this 52 yr old man was hiding under desks at FIU smelling women feet. Took the police a while to find him but they arrested him. I just want to know how can you not see somebody hiding under a desk ?

Re: News that make you say WTF?
Sort of a WTF, but more so it's a question of... what do you do in a scenario like this? I'm talking long-term, not the incident itself.
