CBS 6 legal expert Todd Stone said the gruesome details of the case will have an impact on the judge's sentencing.

"This is probably the worst assault I've ever seen in terms of a live victim, the suffering that happened. The evidence establishes something that is a really ugly scenario. I expect that the judge is going to go on the very high end," Stone said.
