Testifying at the court, Wisa said “I opened a door, and had liquid thrown in my face. I screamed and could not breathe! My wife called the emergency services, and they told me to get under the shower to rinse my eyes. At the hospital they told me my eyes were burned. Someone had to come and rinse them out every hour.
“It has been a nightmare. Since then I panic every time I hear a noise, and the only thing that kept me going was knowing my children are safe. I had surgery on both eyes, and the doctor told me I will need to use eye drops for the rest of my life.

“Since that time I have become withdrawn. I can no longer tolerate being around people I don’t know.”
