In Florida, simple battery is typically a first-degree misdemeanor involving intentional, non-consensual touching or striking. It becomes aggravated battery, a second-degree felony, if the defendant uses a deadly weapon, causes great bodily harm/permanent disfigurement, or strikes a victim they knew was pregnant. The primary difference lies in the severity of the injury or the tools used, which elevates the potential prison time from one year to fifteen years.
