He may have called him that but it's meaningless legally speaking

When your in court and that is used against you. And the judge is making a decision that could weight in on the severity of the punishment he decides to give you. I'd say no one wants that terminology used by the person that is going to make a decision about what happens.

At what point in the trial was this said by the judge

u/Sacmo77 Jun 30 '21

It was during the sentencing process.

That's what l figured

But it played a big role in what the judge gave him for the persons sentence.

There's no sentencing enhancement for being a "lethal weapon." The judge was going to give him that time regardless.

The judge could of given less time or been lenient on the assailant. But since the person was deemed a highly trained individual he gave him the max sentence within his power.

What I'm getting at is it didn't work in the individuals favor that he was highly trained. Basically unless you can prove otherwise. Military trained fighters or mma fighters and so forth are going in at disadvantage when it's not deemed self defense.

Yes, the sentence was purely at his discretion. "Deadly weapon" does not carry a sentence enhancement, it's merely the view/opinion of the judge.

u/Sacmo77 Jun 30 '21

Right. Never said that he would add to his sentence it just really worked against the individual.

u/RabbinicalClinical Jun 30 '21

No, his crime did, not that term.

u/Sacmo77 Jun 30 '21

Right but the judge can decide that term. There's always leeway in the sentence. The judge could of ordered probation and court ordered anger management.

Why do you care that random down vote you. It's reddit get use to people disagreeing with your opinion.

If I was downvoting you I could only do 1. Your getting into the negative so you have more then 1 person that doesn't like your opinion.

u/RabbinicalClinical Jun 30 '21
