Kurt Hoffman received serious injuries when attacked by Eli Rivera of the Keene Police Department last week. Hoffman was handcuffed when Rivera threw Hoffman headfirst into a wall at Keene District Court. Hoffman is currently in Cheshire County Jail, serving a six month sentence for Contempt of Court. I spoke with Hoffman's wife, Aubern, today, who just had the chance to communicate with her husband for the first time since the attack.

Kurt is now in a wheelchair, unable to stand because of severe pain shooting up from his spine to his head. Aubern and others report that Kurt was squinting, unable to focus his eyes, had multiple bruises and was suffering from a concussion. It is unknown at this time whether Kurt had received any permanent damage to his spine.
