The state senator attacked during last summer’s nights of violence in Madison said he thought he was going to die.
Milwaukee Democrat Tim Carpenter yesterday told jurors in Kerida O’Reilly’s trial that he was sucker-punched, then swarmed. Carpenter had a concussion and a broken nose after the attack. Police say O’Reily and another woman led the attack on Carpenter because he was taking pictures of the mob that was assaulting the Wisconsin Capitol that night. O’Reily’s lawyers say no one can place her as the one who punched Carpenter. She’s expected to testify in her own defense later today.
