Deputy District Attorney Peter DeYoung told the court that the victims were present and had requested an opportunity to address the court before sentencing. The victim claimed the entire family lives in fear that the convicted felon may send someone else to attack them. The victim accused the offender, who was dating the victim’s daughter at the time, of hitting her and yelling at her. The daughter told the court she does not fear him. As the family told the court, they continue to fear the possibility of retaliation by another offender or by the convicted man he is released.
