"For Bronx mother Kaitlynn Burman, life is now divided into two eras: before last March and everything that came after the night she was stabbed 22 times in her own apartment. The attack was so severe that it nearly killed her, left her nearly blind on one side and with permanent nerve damage, and turned even ordinary tasks into a daily battle with fear."
"Burman told reporters she "still get[s] flashbacks" and is afraid to leave her home after the assault and its lasting injuries. She says her 3-year-old daughter was in the next room during the attack, and that recovery has meant multiple surgeries and continuing vision problems."
"Joseph was held in custody through December but, according to prosecutors and Burman, a judge released him after the Bronx District Attorney's Office missed a deadline related to bail, which has left the victim outraged and fearful."
