When victim receives broken bones, lacerations, i.e. knife, or is threatened with a weapon the charges are usually elevated to 2nd degree felony or higher. When any psychological abuse is present it will be determined by the courts through the use of a court appointed psychologist or someone who is qualified to make such assessments.
