A disturbing tale of violence in St. Francis, South Dakota. Jonathan Mark Blindman, 31, has been sentenced to six months in custody for a brutal assault. The attack, which took place on August 22, 2012, left the victim shaken.
According to court documents, Blindman was found guilty of one count of simple assault after a jury trial on March 6, 2013. His conviction was the result of a thorough investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Rosebud Sioux Tribe Law Enforcement Services.
The prosecution was led by Assistant U.S. Attorney Marie H. Ruettgers, who successfully argued the case against Blindman. The sentencing, which was handed down by U.S. District Judge Roberto A. Lange on March 19, 2013, was a significant blow to the defendant.
Blindman, who was released from custody, was also ordered to pay a $10 special assessment to the Victim Assistance Fund. The fund, which provides vital support to victims of crime, relies on the generosity of those who have committed offenses.
