Thanks to all for your continued prayers on behalf of David, our family, and me. David is doing quite well today. We had him seen by his Primary Care Physician this afternoon - all clear. His cheek is quite swollen - lacerations inside. This guy really cleaned his clock.

The perp is charged with Assault in the Second Degree, which in Maryland, means assault without a firearm. Trial is set for 1July2013 at 0845 in that Citadel of Justice, the District Court of Maryland for Prince George's County located in beautiful downtown Hyattsville, Md.

Maximum penalty: imprisonment not exceeding 10 years or a fine not exceeding $2,500.00, or both. I don't know whether this guy has any priors - if not, he'll probably walk.

Thank you again for your Prayers and kind thoughts - they are much needed and appreciated. I will keep you updated on any developments as they occur.

Been out of town. Glad that David was not badly hurt. Prayers up!

Conor, I missed this when it was posted and am happy to know David is doing well. What a horrible scare that he was assulted and injured and I pray he continues to do well. You were kind to me when my daughter died and I won’t forget that.

My Dear FRiends,

Earlier today, the case of David's assailant came on for trial in the Circuit Court for Prince George's County, Maryland. The defendant showed up without an attorney and asked for a continuance. The case was referred to a Motions Judge, who denied the continuance.

The State offered a plea bargain - three years with all but sixty days suspended and the remainder on Supervised Probation. We were agreeable to this and the Judge accepted the Plea Agreement. The defendant has to surrender at the Sheriff's Office December 2 to begin serving his sentence.

This resolution has been most beneficial to David - quite a burden lifted from his shoulders. On behalf of David, my wife and my family, thank you all very much for your thoughts and prayers. They have indeed made a great difference in this instance!
