Prosecutors want 21 months in prison for Rand Paul's attacker
Rene Boucher
Paul said  neighbor Rene Boucher  attacked  him  in November while  he  was mowing  his  lawn and wearing headphones.  The Kentucky senator  received six broken ribs and developed pneumonia from the incident  and has described the injuries as a âliving hell.â
 Boucher âs attorney  Matthew Baker  said the retired anesthesiologist shouldnât be jailed  and would pay Paul restitution for his injuries.
Boucher  58  has lived next to  the senator  for years in an upscale subdivision of Bowling Green. The two  though  have disagreed on lawn maintenance.
 Boucher  said  he  saw Paul stacking brush onto an existing pile  and on the day of the incident heâd had âenoughâ â and executed a ârunning tackleâ of Paul. Because  the senator  didnât see  Boucher  coming   he  didnât brace for the impact.
After the incident   Boucher  pleaded not guilty to fourth-degree assault charges.
No date has been set for  Boucher âs sentencing.
