Community supports stabbing victim
Benjamin Sánchez Nieto is reminded of that night every time he takes off his shirt and sees the jagged scar where the knife went in â on the left side of his chest, not far from his heart.
âI donât understand why this happened,â Sánchez Nieto told the Jackson Hole Daily through a translator in a phone interview. âI am happy to be here talking to you and happy to be alive.â
