Description
During the early morning hours of June 6, 1972, a fracas erupted at My Apartment, a bar in the City of Binghamton, over the owners desire to close the bar before a patron had finished his drink. In the course of the fight, Gordon Bloom, the complainant, who was employed as a bouncer and occasional bartender, was grabbed from behind as he went towards the phone to call the police, knocked down and kicked in the face 10 or 12 times by the defendant, who was wearing heavy leather boots. As a result of the assault, Bloom suffered a fracture of the floor of the orbit of his left eye which caused the eye to sink below its normal level and required complicated corrective surgery. A plastic surgeon, Dr. Moscatelli, testified that the injury created a substantial risk of protracted impairment of health in the form of double vision and headaches and a substantial and protracted risk of loss of function of a bodily organ in that complainant would never be able to see clearly again. Complainant testified that he still experienced occasional pain in the injured area and that he strains his eye whenever he looks up. There is also evidence in the record that, even after surgery, complainants eye level had not returned to normal and that the left eyelid was lower than the right.
