Assault with a Deadly Weapon
“It is a clear case of assault and battery, according to the legal definition of those offenses,” said CCHR’s Boswell. “The only difference from the typical assault is that drugs and strong electrical current were used in this case instead of a baseball bat or a lead pipe.”
Eventually, Melissa Holliday received the medical care she needed and obtained some relief from the chronic abdominal and pelvic pains — help which should have come much sooner.
“What they did to me was wrong,” Holliday said. Her father uses a stronger word: “barbaric.” However described, harm in the name of help is betrayal and the crime is compounded when the bottom line appears to be money.
who has been similarly victimized, or who knows of someone who has, can contact the Citizens Commission on Human Rights for information and help. Telephone: (323) 467-4242 or (800) 869-2247. Anyone
