He should be. He was arrested within hours and appeared before a magistrate in an after hours session last night. There will be no problem with evidence issues.
It is appalling on many levels, not the least of which is that my brother is a very small guy (we are both adopted) and he has an intellectual disability from a prior brain injury. He is what you might call a soft target. The attacker threw rocks through his window to get him to come out then beat him with a steel letter box.
It was around midnight and his lights would have been on as he only sleeps for a few hours at a time. He has about 90 epileptic seizures per month and he has a chip in his head which monitors him to prompt certain medications.
My instinct is to wish harm to the attacker, but the truth is no amount of punishment or suffering will do my brother any good in the least. So I am trying to rise above, let the justice system do its thing and focus on what good I can do.
It is difficult, but a very small challenge compared to what lies ahead for my big brother.
