Back to the time of the attack, Seneca was 19 while White was 18. Seneca handcuffed, stabbed, choked, and slash White’s wrists before ending the attack, dialing 911, and waiting for police outside the residence where the attack occurred. Police found White lying in a bathtub inside. They also found a hammer, a saw, and an ice pick as the weapons used on the scene, some of them having been ordered on Amazon before the attack, according to an FBI affidavit.
According to court documents, White survived the attack, but his wrists, cut to the bone, “needed extensive medical care to rehabilitate the injuries and severed tendons.” His left hand has permanent nerve damage. White together with his family attended the sentencing hearing. In court, he discussed the lingering physical results of the attack, including scars, the loss of feeling in his left hand also a finger on his right hand, and also his skull’s sensitivity to weight and pressure.
White said he is terrified for his safety and the safety of other future victims when Seneca gains freedom that he might harm again. White said the attack has elaborated the way people view him and treat him and has at times been used in verbal or online attacks during arguments or disagreements.
White said, “People told me Seneca should have killed me that evening. He should have finished the job. They should bond him out so he can kill me.”
