The family told ABC13 that they are focused on creating a safe space for their mom so she can heal.
Speaking through her daughter Pan, Truong told ABC13 she broke her ribs and fractured her spine, leaving her paralyzed, but she is working to walk again.
“I have to do exercises so that I can walk again,” Trung said.
Harrell is being held on $200,000 bail for this case and $40,000 bail for an armed robbery he allegedly committed 12 days later. Woods is held on a $50,000 bond.
Trung now relies on her three children and her mother to help care for her. A grueling two weeks, she tells us, she hopes Woods and Harrell face the consequences of the attack.
“I’m glad I can live with my family again, but it’s very upsetting that I can’t walk,” Trung said.
