I know who this Jordan guy is, he has had a very troubled past with crime and violence. No real surprise. I agree with first degree attempted murder. You dont attack someone with a hammer while they're sleeping and not intend to do fatal harm. Lets hope Rock county gets this one right!

A bar-time aggravated attack in which the attacker beats a guy in the head with a hammer while he is sleeping!??!?!? WOW

I'd hate to piss that guy off, it must have been over a woman.

What part of "still under investigation" don't you understand?

Do you think that he is going to claim self defense? And thank you for not using brain surgery as a metaphor.

Come on people, it's not rocket science....they charged him with this to hold him in jail until they further investigate.

How about attempted murder in the first degree?
