Was he convicted of assaulting this minor?
If not, than regardless of it, it shouldnt have been a factor in his sentencing.
In fact, Felony Assault was the crime for which he was convicted and took the one-way trip down the river. The slice of pizza bit is media embellishment meant to con people into thinking the guy got a life term for stealing a slice of pizza. No, he got the life sentence for beating up a little kid to get the pizza. I see it worked like a charm on you.
