In July 2017, a woman was permanently disabled after a horrific hammer attack at a home in the city’s core. Just over two years later in Nov. 2019, Dennis George was found guilty of aggravated assault and has been in custody ever since.

After being found guilty, the court heard that George had a lengthy and violent criminal record.
