NAPLES, Fla. – A blow to the head with a beer bottle may have saved Sally Hampton's life.

While doctors were examining her after the barroom attack, they discovered a brain tumor that could have killed her. The tumor was removed, and Ms. Hampton, 64, is fully recovered.

On Monday, she testified against her attacker, Fidel Trujillo, who was convicted of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and sentenced to 12 ½ years in prison.

"It was one of the worst things that could happen to an elderly person, but in the end it saved her life," prosecutor Erik Lombillo said.

Ms. Hampton was attacked July 4 at a bar in Immokalee, a farming town in southwestern Florida. Prosecutors said she put her hand on Mr. Trujillo's shoulder to lead him out of the place when the bartender wanted to close up. Mr. Trujillo bashed her with a bottle and kicked her when she fell.

Ms. Hampton was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening. During a test, doctors found the tumor.
