Family to seek guardanship of chimp attack victim

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - The family of a Connecticut woman who was mauled by a 200-pound chimpanzee says her twin brother plans to go to court this week to seek guardianship of the victim and her daughter.

Steve Nash says his younger sister, 55-year-old Charla Nash, remains under sedation at the renowned Cleveland Clinic, where she is being evaluated by teams of physicans. She was transferred there Thursday with massive injuries to her face and hands from the Feb. 16 attack by Travis, a chimpanzee owned by her friend, 70-year-old Sandra Herold.

Steve Nash says his sister's twin brother, Michael, will be in court this week to seek guardianship of Nash and her 17-year-old daughter.

He says he is purposely not watching TV coverage of mauling.
