LAWYERSCHILE: 9th Circuit (Eventually) Rules Inmate's Hands Not a Dangerous Weapon

9th Circuit (Eventually) Rules Inmate's Hands Not a Dangerous Weapon

One great thing about having the dual advantages of lifetime tenure and a cadre of clerks at your command is that you can feel free to wax poetic -- or rhapsodic, depending upon your nature -- about things that the man on the street wouldn't spend a lot of time debating.

Lowering the Bar, with its usual flair, brings us a recent example from the 9th Circuit. In United States v. Rocha (PDF), the court reversed a federal inmate's conviction for assault with a dangerous weapon. Because it was undisputed that he used nothing but his bare hands in the attack at issue.
