Elgin teacher to join Quinn in bill signing

August 26, 2012

Carolyn Gilbert is the teacher who was attacked. She lost an eye as a result.

She was unaware that her attacker was being investigated for a violent crime at the time. She tells our news partner, The Daily Herald, she's still working to move beyond her ordeal.

"I just haven't forgiven him yet," Gilbert said. "I'm not angry (just to be) angry. I'm angry at the whole situation with this eye because I think it could've been prevented"
