content: He slipped the knife up his sleeve for a reason.  A first year law student should be able to concisely argue that "He stopped his unarmed assault on the victim in order to retrieve a weapon. There is only one reason a person would do this- and that is because they intend to use said weapon when they continue the assault. In this case, the attacker did not get around to using the blade- but the intent is very clearly there. Nobody but the attacker can say for sure why he did not use the blade- but it is obvious to everyone that he had some intentions of using it." Lawyer me. I'll argue anyone into the fucking dirt. I'd argue us straight out of Clown World. I just need someone to put me on the right soap box so people can hear me.
