In Colorado, 'battery' is not a standalone charge; the state uses 'menacing' to describe what other states call battery. Assault involves actual bodily harm; menacing involves placing someone in fear of imminent serious bodily injury without requiring physical contact.
Right Law Group's guide explains: "In Colorado, the terms “assault” and “battery” are not interchangeable. In fact, Colorado doesn’t have a specific battery charge."
