Hello all,
I am sorry to report that one of our board members, Diane Starin, is
in the UC Medical Center hospital. On Friday evening, she was
attacked on her way to the bus. Diane has sustained a head injury. I
spoke to her this afternoon at the hospital. She has been moved from
ICU, to a regular room. She is talking, but does not yet know how
long she will be there. If you wish to send cards or flowers, or call
her, the hospital information is:
UC Davis Medical Center Hospital
2315 Stockton Blvd.
Sacramento, CA 95817
Phone- 916-734-2011
Room Number- 11757, Bed #1
There is an article in Saturday's Sacramento Bee about the incident.
Mary Willows, President
National Federation of the Blind of California

Hi folks,
The Sacramento Bee has covered the story of the assault on Diane.
I'm including it here and some of the many comments, below.
I suggest that to maximize the severity of punishment for the
attacker the NFBC be sure that we are present at every arrignment and
court procedure to let the judge and the DA know how much we really
care that justice prevails.
Best,
Bryan

according to california, this is a nonviolent crime, a non violent
offender, and
he'll go free with the proposed 27000 non violent low level
offenders. this is how
stupid politicians are.

Lessee, what will his sentence be? Since it's Sac County, not Yolo,
probably a few
months...and he'll serve that waiting for trial. If it had happened
in Yolo, 237
years.
