The Brief Nhan Le is showing slight signs of movement on life support as he recovers from a brutal crowbar attack outside a Houston restaurant. Lee’s family and victim advocates are demanding answers after learning McDaniel was sent to a voluntary mental health center instead of being kept in custody. The alleged attacker, 28-year-old Joshua McDaniel, has more than 15 prior charges in Harris County court records. Among them was a charge for injury to an elderly person that was dismissed in February after McDaniel was referred to a mental health treatment facility. "Once they dismissed the case, they gave him a ride from Harris County Jail to the Judge Ed Emmett Mental Health Treatment Center," Kahan said.
