Assault 1 (F) includes the Disfigurement element that is intended and caused.

• A. Disfigurement intended and caused.
• B. Intend SPI with DW/DI, causes SPI.
• C. Depraved indifference causes SPI.
• D. Intend PI only.

Answer: (A)

Disfigurement as a part of Assault in the first degree requires a specific pairing of mens rea and outcome: the defendant must have intended to disfigure and must have actually caused disfigurement. Disfigurement is treated as a form of serious physical injury, so the harm isn’t just any injury but the targeted harm of disfigurement, and it must be deliberate, not accidental or only to cause some other injury. If someone intends to cause harm but not disfigurement, or disfigurement occurs without that specific intent, the element isn’t satisfied. The option that states disfigurement was intended and actually caused matches this exact requirement.
