December.

Mind blowing.

Only thing I can think of is that they're trying to bring the hammer down on him.

Hypothetically, of course.

In Kentucky there are multiple degrees of assault. It could range anywhere from no time to 20 years, with no minimum to a minimum of 5 years. It could be concurrent with other charges, or in addition to.

In other words, it's almost entirely up to the judge.

Hypothetically, say someone originally stabbed their brother twice with a screwdriver, hit him in the head with a frying pan, and tried to choke him.  Then, once in jail for that, he attacked a prison service dog (not sure if that means a guard dog or what) and then a prison guard, is it the same as you said or do you have any idea?
