Surviving doesn't mean that the suffering stops for victims of violent crime. There's one woman in Kentucky who
00:00:07
lived after being brutally attacked by her neighbor and left for dead. But she had to pay dearly for what happened to
00:00:13
her. I mean, she endured nearly 19 hours of surgery, hundreds of stitches. She needed about 17 pints of blood for a
00:00:20
blood transfusion. And all of this led to massive medical debt. And she lives with the physical and emotional
00:00:27
challenges from that trauma. And now she's even back in therapy because the neighbor who did all of this to her has
00:00:33
been released and lives only about an hour away. This is the side of cases that don't get talked about enough in my
00:00:40
opinion. A crime like this seriously just rips apart every aspect of your life. And survival often comes with a
00:00:47
price that few people ever really see. And sometimes it feels like survivors actually have to pay more than their
00:00:53
attackers.
