Hearing impaired, sexually assaulted with a wooden coat hanger, attempted drowning and ELECTROCUTION!
Yeah, we don't need hate crime legislation. Obviously the victim was asking for it.
I am so very happy that this poor woman lived through this ordeal. I prey that her recovery is swift and complete. And I so very much wish that she will be able to testify in open court, face her torturer and have him jailed for a long, long time.
My rage is palpable!

Sentenced for a long, long time? No. A tub of water and a electric heater direct wired into the prison wiring system.

Gods I hope she is getting the help she needs to deal with this.
How on earth can they not be looking into charges of attempted murder?
I loved Trinidad.. and Dr. Bowers and her staff..
All we can hope is the DA finds the cojones to prosecute this to the fullest.
