I would tend to agree with you on the Joan Fitzsimons attack, but I've never actually seen an official report of how Joan's blindness occurred. How can you be so sure?


I'm not completely certain, but I think I originally read about Joan's injuries in an 'Aftermath'.
I think this was confirmed in one of Scott Jones' articles, which right now, I'm too lazy to look for.



Doing a Google search on Joan Fitzsimons, I did find this excerpt from an online article:


"On July 26, 1969, Joan Fitzsimons, then 29, was the victim of a vicious assault near Chichester which left her in a coma with a fractured skull and blinded for life. Her boyfriend, Jordanian Michael Ziyadeh, pleaded guilty to attempted murder and spent four years in Broadmoor Prison before being deported. Despite his guilty plea, Ziyadeh always claimed he did not carry out the attack. The police case against him concluded: “The motive for this is a mystery.”

I also found this excerpt from one of Scott's articles:

"Three unidentified witnesses were allowed to leave the scene without being interviewed.

Finally, police files have revealed how taxi driver Joan Fitzsimons, a former girlfriend of Thorogood, was attacked and left for dead three weeks after Brian Jones died. According to the official records, Ms Fitzsimons was planning to speak to the media about Jones’s death.
Thorogood was said to have been desperately searching for Ms Fitzsimons in the weeks before the attack because, the files reveal, she knew too much about the band. She died in 2002."
