I know 2nd degree battery is a felong and simple battery is a misdemeanor. In looking at the law I can't tell what the police use apply a 2nd degree battery charge vs. a simple battery charge. What is the difference.

Pretty simple rule of thumb is that if the victim went to the hospital and received medical treatment, was knocked unconscious, or had any broken bones then its 2nd degree battery

Second degree battery is when the act results in very serious injuries, impairment, disfigurement, perhaps when one is left unconscious. Its when the injuries exceed the normal busted nose, or knot on the head. Its when medical attention is required for a serious injury.

It's better to use them and then recharge them. It's kinda like letting them flex their muscles. If you constantly keep them in the charger, over time they won't hold a charge that long. Hope this helps. thanks.

It doesn't matter, since the police refused to question the suspects to get their side of the story.

obviously, the police do not want to arrest football players, so if the "victims" refuse to drop charges. it will be a botched case. they won't risk hillar Moore going for a felony.
