My brother attacked me while at my moms, where he lives. He got in my face and said he was going to F#$K me up! He then proceeded to do just that. :( My family is covering for him. I did however call the police. Even after I called he went for round 2. The officer pressed charges while I was at the hospital getting a cat scan. I have 3 people lying for him, saying he didn't hit me, when truth is he hit me about 14 times. 6 in the face, and the others in my neck and the back of my head. I have had to have my neck fused, he is very aware of this. Punching me in my neck could have killed or easily paralyzed me. CT scan shows 6 fractures. I had a fractured eye socket, I had a fracture that crushed the right side of my nasal canal, 4 fractures to my cheek bone. I had to have surgery on my nasal canal ($13,700) I have to have another surgery in 4 months for a deviated septum is now have from the assault. He knocked out my bridge. That will cost about $4,000. I have trigeminal nerve damage, causing crazy pain. My neck, and nerve pain is worse. I have had to start seeing a pain management Doctor. The ER bill was right at $14,000. Luckily I have good insurance, but the pain management is out of pocket. My brother is saying I fell into a door knob or a wall, and the other 3 are going along with it, although the watched the whole event. I have court in 5 days. He had a record for stealing 20+ yrs ago, but nothing recent. He also filed assault charges against me 5 days later LOL. I only pushed him back once to try to make him stop. Which he didn't. I will have statements from doctors I have seen saying it was blunt force injuries. My question is: What do u think will happen to him? Given my injuries will the judge believe their BS. Will he have to pay my out of pocket expenses? Only being a witness in this case, do I have to except them plea bargaining? Will anything happen to the other for giving false statements. And lying under oath? I am in VA.. Charge is Unlaw wounding, which technically should be Malicious
