The man who survived a machete attack in south Austin is reacting to the decision not to take the case to trial.
Short walks are not part of Seth Gott’s rehab routine. But each step, like each new day, is a big part of his recovery."And every little thing that I'm able to do, I have such a greater sense of gratitude for being able to write or use my phone or move or speak," said Gott. Back in January, Seth Gott was in the hospital after being attacked by a man with a machete. There were deep cuts to his head and back.
There will be no trial for Ashton Talley, the man who attacked Seth on Austin's hike and bike trail."I absolutely expected it. I mean, Seeing him face to face that day. It was, you know, clear as day that this man needed some, some mental help," said Gott.Officials with the Travis County District Attorney's office notified Seth that a judge determined that Talley is not mentally competent to stand trial."Everybody, you know, deserves, a fair trial.
