He could have been sentenced to 10 years for A&B with a dangerous weapon just as easily. If the prosecutor charged him with more serious crimes, like armed assault to murder and/or mayhem, they could have given him double that, at least.
But charging it as a "hate crime" gets a prosecutor more headlines, you see.
