Judge Rules Article Use To Define Dangerous Weapons
Judge Keogh of Norwalk Connecticut holds that the use to which an object is put, not the object itself, determines if it is a dangerous and deadly weapon. In a criminal case the defendant struck a complainant with a six inch by three inch block of wood. the prosecution argued it was a deadly weapon, but the judge found the claim invalid. He said if true, a feather duster used to tickle a man to death would also be dangerous and deadly.
