NATION IN BRIEF : NEW YORK : Full Recovery Seen for Assault Victim
The woman jogger attacked in Central Park will likely have a “100% recovery” and will “not go to pieces” when she testifies against her accused assailants, a doctor familiar with her progress said. Prosecutors said the 29-year-old woman will be a witness in the rape and attempted murder trial of six youths indicted in the April 19 “wilding” incident that attracted national attention. Physicians say the Upper St. Clair, Pa., woman has been given full details of the crime and has a complete understanding of what happened to her, although she has no independent recollection of the attack.
