Yulee Aggravated Battery Laws
If you have been charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, you could be facing serious penalties under Florida law. Typically, a kitchen utensil is not seen as a deadly weapon until you use it as such to inflict injuries on another individual. If the prosecutor in your case is able to make a good statement against you in court, you could be facing sentences of up to 25 years, especially when there are violent and aggravating factors present.
