Seattle victim shocked after man convicted in attack is released months shy of 1-year sentence

SEATTLE The assault case involving Jibri Kambui has taken another surprising turn for victims and their families after he pleaded guilty to assaulting both a shop owner and his girlfriend in two separate attacks on Father’s Day of last year.
