Here is an article to anyone wishing to read. Left leg seems to be the problem right now with nerve damage. Not sure if we will ever see him at Sammy’s old level but this is still a great story.

Mini documentary on Sammy. I am willing to bet Sammy wrestles next season. Even if it’s just for one match. His determination will have him walk out at Covelli one last time at minimum.

Any update on the criminal case?

Doubtful much is public since they are minors. With the way the Franklin county prosecutor has been handling juvenile crime in central Ohio I’d imagine the punishment won’t be nearly as harsh as many of us think it should be. Maybe I’m off on that.

If funding is the same as it was several years ago, Juvenile Courts in
Ohio get more money from the state by not sending youth to youth prison.

Sammy’s appreciation and gratitude for surviving that attack is inspirational.

DDon't know if this is the same thing, but B10 Network had a nice piece on Sammy last night as well.

Great attitude - wish him the very best in whatever he does.

I came across the documentary completely by chance and I was amazed by it. While no shooting is ever good, I had no idea that it was as bad as it was.
I can only hope that he has a complete recovery and a great life from here on, wrestling or not.

I worked in the juvenile sector for a while before switching to adults.
We have cases of murder when kids were 15 16ish and at 21 they were out, if not before.

The only saving grace these kids get hard time is the media press on it. My guess is with sassos outlook on life he probably wants them to have every opportunity to change.
Unfortunately, no matter how much programming / help you give these kids based upon what has been said about their background, the outlook for them is terrible.
