Ley sobre agresiones en Minnesota

Explicación Simple

Si alguien te asusta o te hiere a propósito, eso se considera una agresión. Dependiendo de lo que haya pasado antes, las consecuencias pueden ser más graves.

Es como si alguien te empujara en un juego de fútbol; si lo hace una vez, puede ser un foul, pero si ya ha hecho eso varias veces, el árbitro podría expulsarlo del juego.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan y Pedro tienen una pelea en la escuela. Si Juan empuja a Pedro y lo hiere, eso es agresión. Si Juan ya tenía problemas anteriores por lo mismo, podría enfrentar penas más severas.

Penalidades

Puede ser condenado a prisión por hasta 364 días o a una multa de hasta $3,000, o ambas.
