46: A Raccoon Is A Deadly Weapon
(WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE) Do all 50 States (and their courts) agree on what IS and IS NOT a deadly weapon? Of course not. Ask the raccoons, honeybees, alligators, plastic chairs, ladles, shoes, bare hands, dogs, toy guns, teeth, and .....eggs.
Reb tells you why the difference between simple assault and felony assault with a deadly weapon as a matter of law can get.....very confusing.
LINK TO FULL COURT OPINION FROM BARE HANDS SECTION - U.S. v. Rocha, 598 F.3d 1144 (9th Cir. 2010) (14 pages to explain why attacking someone with your bare hands is not assault with a deadly weapon)
