Knife Size in Nebraska

(1/3) > >>

wcr:
If you still have your copy of today's May 7, 2016 Omaha World Herald.  There is an interesting article on knife size and the NE Supreme court - bottom page 1 and continued on page 2.  Check it out.  Summary from the Supreme Court size matters in determining if a knife is a deadly weapon.  It also said "whether you had criminal intent matters little."  How many of you guys go fishing with a fillet knife in the tackle box with a blade over 3.5 inches.  What if granny goes to the local cooking store and buys a knife for those Omaha Steaks for next weeks cookout and gets pulled over for a bad break light on the way home.  She now has a concealed deadly weapon in the bag on the front seat next to her.  Poor granny missed the picnic she's in the big house.

Just read the article and it seems that the Supreme Court is telling the Unicameral to go back and review the law as it needs to re-address the length AND intent not just length without saying it outright.

If a Supreme Court is unanimous on anything that pretty much means we need to change the law rather than challenging it in court and hoping they will interpret favorably.

I understand the principle...I was asking if he had a source for stating the Supreme Court has in fact told the unicameral to revisit the law.  I ask this because I read the courts response and summary and didn't get the feeling at all that they felt the law should be revisited.
