Question Presented (AI Summary)

Does a criminal offense without mens rea qualify as a violent felony under the Armed Career Criminal Act?

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED New Mexico courts have held the state’s aggravated assault statute does not have a mens rea element with respect to the victim. Does a criminal offense that can be committed without any mens rea qualify as a violent felony under the Armed Career Criminal Act? Does New Mexico aggravated battery qualify as a violent felony under the Armed Career Criminal Act when it measures the harm caused by an “unlawful touch” rather than by “use of physical force”? ix
