of course you don't use the same mitigating factors.. that's why the attorney selects the mitigating factors that pertain to the case. DUH. One rather simple mitigating factor the judge could look at is that Brown had no motive to do this and he wouldn't receive monetary gain by doing this. Another would be that Brown would be subject to unfair treatment in prison. There ya go, there's two factors right there. So don't say that there are none in this case. You're confusing factors that lead to the incident with factors that the defendant has in his favor.
Here's a little tidbit you might enjoy. Brown hasn't even been arraigned yet. So guess what that means.. he'll get no time on this. So yeah you're so wrong on claiming top weight. His actions have not put him in any sort of deep hole. He'll simply pull his probation and then he'll come out squeeky clean. Obviously the abuse wasn't that bad if Rhianna is back with him. That completely blows the case out of the water. That's why we haven't even seen an arraignment yet. The DA will offer him 1 year of probation in lieu of a maximum 180 day jail sentence or something similar. So keep championing top weight or some insane amount of jail time for this.. it's not going to happen.
