A Flint man who told an exotic dancer to close her eyes so he could give her a Sweetest Day gift but instead bashed her head in with a hammer pleaded to an assault charge.
Austin M. Schmidt, 21, faces prison when sentenced Dec. 4 before Genesee Circuit Judge Joseph J. Farah.
Schmidt pleaded no contest today to assault with intent to commit great bodily harm less than murder, a 10-year felony.
He was originally charged with assault with intent to murder, a life felony, in the Oct. 22, 2006 assault on Abbie VanAmburg.
...
At an earlier hearing, VanAmburg, 23, said she was severely beaten with a hammer, receiving more than 30 blows to her head and arm that required 25 staples in her head and 50 stitches on her face and arm.
She said about 30 of those stitches were required to reattach her left ear, which was nearly severed in the attack.
And he'll most likely be out of prison before he's 30. Lovely.
