Legal Question in Criminal Law in Colorado

Re: assault

C.R.S. 18-3-201 is the definations section relating to the various crimes of Assualt.

C.R.S. 18-3-202, 203, 204, 205, 209 contains the elements to the crimes of: Assault in the First Degree, in the Second Degree, in the Third Degree, Vehicular Assault, and Assault on the elderly or persons with disabilities respectively.

It is more efficient to state all the facts to determine which type of Assault was comitted.

A crime of violence, a sentence enhancer, may also tbe charged in some of the above different types of Assault. A crime of violence, if proven, requires mandatory incarceration and also may, in some cases, upgrade the class of the crime.

Sexual Assault are separatley defined and I presume the query excludes sexual assault.
