THE EX-WIFE AND DAUGHTER OF THE MAN WHO ATTACKED THEM BOTH ON VALENTINE’S DAY HAVE ASKED THE COURT FOR LENIENCY IN HIS CASE. 45-YEAR-OLD CHRISTOPHER LINDNER ATTACKED DONNA LINDNER WITH A KNIFE ON THE MORNING OF FEBRUARY 14TH, SLASHING AT HER FACE, AND STABBING THEIR DAUGHTER THROUGH HER OPEN MOUTH.
HIS FAMILY SAY LINDNER HAD NEVER BEEN VIOLENT BEFORE, AND THE DEFENSE ASSERTS THAT LINDNER HAD SEVERAL PANIC ATTACKS IN THE WEEK LEADING UP TO THE ASSAULT, AND MAY HAVE HAD A TEMPORARY PSYCHOTIC BREAK DUE TO COMPLICATIONS WITH DIABETES. LINDNER FACES CHARGES OF ATTEMPTED MURDER.
