There’s been an update in the story of that attack on a candidate for state representative using a stapler I wrote about last week. As it turns out the woman wielding the stapler is alleged to have been the daughter of the incumbent state representative. Here’s the Sun-Times:
Robert Zwolinksi said he was floored when he learned that one of the people who’d allegedly attacked him and stapled his forehead outside his Ukrainian Village campaign headquarters earlier this month was the daughter of his opponent in his unsuccessful Illinois House race.
“My common sense intuition said no way it would be her daughter because that in itself sounds so extreme,†Zwolinski told the Chicago Sun-Times.
Jessica Soto, the daughter of state Rep. Cynthia Soto, was ordered held in lieu of $25,000 bail Friday for the attack Cook County prosecutors said left Zwolinksi with a black eye, broken nose and six stitches to his forehead.
