Considering that his assailant was a neighbor, this sounds more like the result of some personal feud, a very unstable neighbor, or both.

Gee, it sounds like the assailant might have had a weapon - like a club or bat - but they didn't mention it.

I was thinking about this this morning. I wondered if he maybe rushed him and they fell on the mower or something like that.

 

I had someone fall on me while horsing around a few years ago and we landed on the edge of some steps. The edge hit right between 2 ribs and bruised me pretty bad. I didn't break any ribs but I had trouble taking a full breath for over a month. Can't imagine the pain Paul is going through.

No weapon.

1st degree requires using a weapon to cause serious physical injury.

2nd degree requires causing serious physical injury (no weapon).

3rd degree us assault on a privileged category.

4th is the catch-all.

Serious physical injury =  risk of death or prolonged impairment.

Courts are known to be generous in their interpretation of serious physical injury, so don't be shocked if 2nd degree isn't coming down the pipe.
