Repeat Offender Thought Probation Was Easy… Judge ENDED It With 5 YEARS

Описание: In this intense courtroom hearing, a repeat offender with a criminal record dating back over 30 years stands before the judge after admitting to stabbing an unarmed man on a sidewalk.
The defendant claims he acted in self-defense, saying the victim had threatened him for weeks and that police told him to “protect yourself.” But there’s one major problem — the victim was sitting on the ground, unarmed, when the stabbing happened.
With 10 prior felony convictions, including aggravated battery, the court must decide:
Does he deserve probation… or prison?
The State pushes for the full 10-year sentence, arguing there was no immediate threat and no legal justification. The defense insists he overreacted out of fear and deserves another chance.
Then comes the turning point — the judge reads through his entire criminal history and makes one thing clear:
“Words are not enough.”
In the end, the court delivers a powerful ruling that sends a strong message about self-defense laws, repeat offenders, and consequences.
⚖️ Final Sentence: 5 Years in Prison
🔪 Deadly Weapon Finding Included
