The Ninth Circuit determined that a mens rea of extreme indifference recklessness is insufficient to sustain a finding of an aggravated assault crime of violence. As such, a conviction for aggravated assault in New Jersey encompasses conduct not covered by the generic definition of a crime of violence, and the conviction does not qualify as a crime of violence for federal sentencing purposes (and very possibly, for immigration purposes as well, since the Ninth Circuit's definition of a crime of violence under 18 U.S.C. 16(a) excludes reckless or negligent acts). The court also noted that the New Jersey definition of "attempt" is broader than the federal definition.
