Officer injured by Samsel described herself as a friend of Officer Sicknick. She described Samsel as “a thief” who had “stolen moments away from me that I can't get back.”
Officer said that Samsel “stole my ability to be present at important events due to physical and psychological trauma that you imparted on me and my co-workers.”
Capitol officer to Samsel: When will we be set free of the memories and scars of that day? When will I be free and whole again? Free of the fear that my brain injury will cause me embarrassment at the best of circumstances and further injury at the worst?
