Two others came to the victim's aid and French attacked them, inflicting minor cuts, Hasselman said. The first victim suffered two long cuts on his back. All three recovered. French pleaded guilty to first-degree assault and two counts of second-degree assault in a plea deal that requires him to serve every day of the 160-month sentence. French said nothing in court. - From Register-Guard and news service reports |
