609.221 ASSAULT IN THE FIRST DEGREE. Subdivision 1.Great bodily harm.Whoever assaults another and inflicts great bodily harm may be sentenced to imprisonment for not more than 20 years or to payment of a fine of not more than $30,000, or both. I suspect the question will be whether Nelson's kick caused "great bodily harm" -- or was he already so hurt that Nelson's kick added nothing? Also not sure if there is any case law that says in the instance of multiple attackers, it doesn't matter who inflicted the blow that actually did the damage, but rather damage is imputed to all attackers. Legally, I'll be interested to see what these guys are charged with if Kolstad dies.
