The Eighth Circuit has determined that an Illinois conviction for aggravated battery on a public way is a crime of violence under the federal sentencing guidelines. The Illinois definition of simple battery is divisible between force causing bodily injury (which qualifies as a crime of violence) and insulting or provocative touching (which does not qualify as a crime of violence). Applying the modified categorical approach, the court determined that the language of the charging document indicated that the petitioner was convicted of bodily injury battery.
