A woman who was set on fire in a CTA Blue Line attack last November in the Loop has been released from Stroger Hospital.
In a statement released Friday, Bethany MaGee wrote: “My family and I are grateful to be able to celebrate this milestone, and we want to sincerely thank everyone who has offered support, kindness, and encouragement during this time. I am especially thankful to the burn team at Stroger Hospital for their exceptional care, compassion, and expertise, as well as for the support they showed my family throughout my hospitalization.”
MaGee was on the train when she was allegedly doused in gasoline and set on fire by Lawrence Reed in an attack described as “brutal and vicious.”
Reed faces a terrorism charge and a maximum sentence of life in prison.
