On the recordSeptember 28, 2006
In the same section, the term ``serious physical pain or suffering'' is defined as a bodily injury that involves one of four characteristics: ``a substantial risk of death,'' ``extreme physical pain,'' ``a burn or physical disfigurement or a serious nature,'' or ``significant loss or impairment of the function of a bodily member, organ or mental faculty.'' I do not believe that the term ``bodily injury'' adds a separate requirement which must be met for an act to constitute serious physical pain or suffering.
