This defendant's violent and unjustified use of a weapon to assault another person is reprehensible.  Hopefully the victim's woulds will heal with time.  The community will be safer during the decade that this defendant is in state prison.  My office will continue to pursue justice on behalf of victims of violent crime and hold responsible those who turn to such violence to settle disputes.
