According to the article, the jury designated the shoes as deadly weapons to ensure the perp would get max prison time.
Couple notes:
There are shoes a LOT more deadly than sneakers, no matter how much they cost. I used to have a pair of heavy work boots with steel toes and soles. Kick somebody with those and they’ll get the job done.
I don’t recall ever hearing of somebody getting 100 year sentence in a case where nobody died.
That’s really strange that a jury can decide what a weapon is or is not...
Get a bunch of libtards on a jury and maybe they can declare a t-shirt with a gun on it a weapon or the way someone thinks is a weapon...
I’m surprised the judge did not intervene....
As for getting 100 years as compared to killing someone....
Maybe these thugs SOB will think twice about stooping on someone face....
They should at least ban shoes capable of holding more than 5 toes, aka Assault Nikes.
