Whether is it in the context of domestic violence or not doesn't matter I don't believe.

 

However, I know where the problem lies and why I may have been confused by your bullet point that you posted.

 

14-33.©1 is what you are referring to and you are indeed correct that it states "inflicts serious injury upon another" is an A1 misdemeanor

 

But 14-32.4 says  "any person who assaults another person and inflicts serious bodily injury is guilty of a Class F felony"

 

All of these laws have the caveat of "Unless the conduct is covered under some other provision of law providing greater punishment"

 

Which is why I questioned it, what you are charged with will be determined by how serious the personal injury is.  If you just go to the hospital and get some stitches it would be the law you are referring to, if you are in the hospital for a long period of time, or have life threatening injuries, or become mutilated or disfigured you will be charged with a felony.

 

So really, we were both right

Cool cool cool.

 

IANAL.

 

The tweets someone else posted from a lawyer in CLT were pretty insightful.

Lets let this play out before we come to conclusions. More times than not these "domestic violence" episodes involve a female getting pissy and calling police even though nothing happened

Greg Hardy is a complete moron. There's no denying he's a phenomenal football player with immense talent. However, there's a reason he was drafted in the 6th round instead of the top 5. He has portrayed himself as an immature loser by his words and actions for years. He turns 26 this summer yet he is about as mature as my 10 year old cousin.

He just signed a $13mil tender and was in line to get a massive long term deal within the next year. Even if he's completely innocent and it's a fabricate story he's still an idiot for putting himself in the position he did.

I find it more believable that he would blow a fuse and do something stupid than a "scorned" woman would randomly make a scene at 4am over nothing.

Got to love people praising Gettle for drafting Ealy, while not criticizing him for not trading Hardy when he had the chance.

 

Actually, in fairness to Gman he didn't have much of a chance to trade him. If you remember back, Hardy signed his tender real quick. Much quicker than you usually see tagged players commit. Usually, they at least try to feel out FA. Hardy signed his before it even started. You could look at the bright side and say at least Gman bidded his time and didn't commit a lot of guaranteed money into a new contract. Now he has leverage even if thing do work out for Hardy legally. For sure there will be language written into any new contract protecting the Panthers, otherwise he is gone for sure.

      Ticket Prices

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Fees nowadays are ridiculous. After purchasing concert tickets for my son’s 18th birthday and paying the rest of our HHI trip with 3 other families, I’m shocked at how much they are. Honestly, it’s grand theft. Some is taxes but in a world where everything is electronic, fees should be cheaper. Electrons don’t cost 10-30% of the event.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Nope, that’s not the disconnect. In 2022, our GM knew he was going QB in the 2023 draft. You are talking about risking fans involvement on a team that’s been basically bottom 3 in the NFL from 2018 to now. There is no risk when you are that bad. We were right to want Fitterer to tank in 2022 and get rid of anyone who could bring us big value and extra cap room for future years when we aren’t winning 2-7 wins a year. We knew we wanted a rookie QB so we didn’t trade assets for picks and get a better draft slot so we ended up only getting a 2nd for Burns and threw in DJ Moore plus an early 2nd instead of a 1st, which basically lost us an early 2nd. The “risk” to our franchise’s losing culture ended up being around 4 1sts of total value. Yep, I refuse to listen to the other perspective that lost us around 4 1sts of value. At least our fan involvement is so high that our stadium isn’t chock full of visiting fans since we’ve won so much since 2022. Again, you won’t change my mind that we should have tanked in 2022 and had another 2-4 Browns/Horns on this team.
