Hutchins v. State

OPINION

A jury convicted appellant Tyrone Bobby Hutchins, a/k/a Tyrone Bobby Hutchinson (“Hutchins”), of robbery, kidnapping with the use of a deadly weapon, and four counts of sexual assault with the use of a deadly weapon. He was sentenced to one twelve-year term on the robbery charge and ten consecutive life terms on the other charges, five of which represent enhancements based upon the use of a deadly weapon. Hutchins raises five assignments of error on appeal.

We conclude that Hutchins’ sentences were improperly enhanced for use of a deadly weapon, as scissors are not a “deadly weapon”…
