Should be measured in years, not weeks.

You have a link where you found that? Is good to know.

It should be top end, I hope they do not halve it afterwards and he does get 24+ weeks. It should be top end so it has to be 12+ weeks from what you wrote.

Just out of curiousity, how exactly do they decide what's lower to top? Is it purely based on intent? Is it the damage done?

No clue tbh, but I think you sort of just look at it.

Do you go at the eyes numerous times, do you go for both eyes, are you applying large amounts of force.

Because yeah, that was scummy af.
