Clearly, section 784.021(1) is a substantive statute creating and defining aggravated assault and makes no mention of especially protecting law enforcement officers.

Florida Statute § 784.021 defines “aggravated assault” as “an assault” with either “a deadly weapon” or “intent to commit a felony.” “Assault” is defined separately in Florida Statute § 784.011 as “an intentional, unlawful threat by word or act to do violence to the person of another, coupled with an apparent ability to do so, and doing some act which creates a well-founded fear in such other person that such violence is imminent.” Turner concluded that “a conviction under section 784.021 will always include ‘as an element the ....

In Gerald, the defendant was charged with aggravated assault. Id. at 892. Although aggravated assault, as defined by section 784.021(1), Florida Statutes, can be committed either (a) “[w]ith a deadly weapon without intent to kill; or (b) “[w]ith intent to commit a felony,” in Gerald the jury had evidence of and was only instructed of (a)....

...United States, 66 F.4th 890, 892 (11th Cir. 2023) (“Somers III”). With the benefit of the Florida Supreme Court’s answer to the mens rea required for a simple assault offense, this Court held that an aggravated assault conviction under § 784.021(1) “cannot be committed with a mens rea of recklessness,” “requires knowing conduct,” and “therefore qualifies as a ‘violent felony’ under the ACCA.” See id....

Gary ignores that the first element of an aggravated assault crime under § 784.021(1) is an “assault,” as defined by § 784.011(1). Indeed, in Somers II, the Florida Supreme Court reasoned that simple assault always requires the intentional threat to do violence and therefore cannot be accomplished via a reckless act....
...requires a mens rea of at least knowing conduct; it cannot be committed recklessly.”). Under Florida law, as shown above, the definition of an aggravated assault crime incorporates the definition of simple assault. See Fla. Stat. § 784.021(1) (defining aggravated assault as “an assault” either “(a) [w]ith a deadly weapon without intent to kill; or (b) [w]ith an intent to commit a felony” (emphasis added)). So it does not matter which condition—either with a deadly weapon under § 784.021(1)(a) or intent to commit a felony under § 784.021(1)(b)—transforms a simple assault into an aggravated assault because the mens rea for the underlying simple assault is sufficient to meet Borden’s requirement that the crime be committed with intent. See Somers III, 66 F.4th at 894–96. In sum, Gary’s aggravated assault conviction under Fla. Stat. § 784.021(1)(b) categorically qualifies as a violent felony under the ACCA because, as our precedent in Somers III confirmed, Florida’s aggravated assault statute requires an intentional threat to use USCA11 Case: 21-13249 Document: 58-1 Date Filed: 07/21/2023 Page: 9 of 9 21-13249 Opinion of the Court 9 violence against another person, regardless of whether it is committed under § 784.021(1)(a) or (b)....
