What does “2d degree” mean?
It means it wasn't worth writing an article about.
First-degree assault … involves an attempt to cause serious physical harm or injury to another person, or the use of a firearm during the commission of an assault… [I]is considered a felony offense [in Maryland].
Key Elements of First-Degree Assault:
—Intent to cause serious physical injury: This involves actions where the defendant intends to cause significant harm, such as broken bones, head trauma, or life-threatening injuries.
—Use of a weapon: Assault that involves the use of a firearm or any other deadly weapon automatically elevates the charge to first-degree assault.
—Strangulation: Maryland law classifies acts of strangulation as first-degree assault due to the potential for severe injury or death.
Second-degree assault is a less serious charge compared to first-degree assault, but it is still a serious criminal offense. [It] involves intentionally causing or attempting to cause physical harm to another person, but without the aggravating factors that would elevate it to first-degree assault.
Key Elements of Second-Degree Assault:
—Intentional harmful contact: The defendant must have intended to harm or offend the victim, but the harm does not need to be as severe as in first-degree assault.
—Lack of a deadly weapon: Second-degree assault does not involve the use of firearms or other deadly weapons.
—Physical harm without severe injury: While injury may occur, second-degree assault typically involves less serious harm compared to first-degree assault.

It sounds like the assault descriptions have taken a life of their own,
much like everything else in LOCOMOCOland.
Why is a First degree ASSAULT the most severe, while a First degree BURN is the least severe?? WTF people!!!
