We lawyers always seek more than what is warranted by the evidence.
It's a compulsive negotiating strategy.
In this case, it might work, because most reasonable people feel that this kid should never have been there with a weapon like that.
Funny thing is... this judge has a reputation for tough sentencing after conviction.

The jury is entitled to consider all offenses supported by the evidence.
I hate the fucking little doughboy for the damage he's done to the name and reputation of one of my all time favorites.
I'm so distraught that I may just have to pour a dram this morning. It's time to bring day-drinking back in fashion.

Head after you’ve been hit with a skateboard, anything goes.
Girl punching, wannabe Proud Boy so there’s that.
You would not have lasted five minutes on that witness stand. You run and hide from defending the policies you vote for on an anonymous message board and now your going to take swipes at a youngster? You did the same with the Covington youngster. Most likely the same with the Duke Lacrosse team and Richard Jewel. Which one of those shot during the Kenosha riots would you have welcomed into your home with open arms?

However it doesn't shock me you'd be ok with it. He's the epitome of everything you ideal. Trump loving, wanna-be toy soldier, tough talking, girl beating punk. His mother should be so proud to drop off her kid into a volatile situation where anything between friendly fire to an attack could've ended his life.
You run and hide exactly like you would have done on that witness stand. C'mon and walk the streets of Gary, Indiana or Englewood Chicago for a night. Just by your middle school comments, you most likely would be crying "momma" after 5 minutes. Sheltered, privileged, white boy. No experience in the real world.
