The victim of a shooting in Butler last month told a judge Monday that serious wounds to his face and head have left him with diminished vision and nerve damage.

Brandon Fairtrace, 20, wearing a bandage around his head and a clear protective covering over his right eye, gave brief testimony at a preliminary hearing for the teenager accused of shooting him with a shotgun blast at his West Brady Street apartment.

"My eyesight's not complete," Fairtrace told District Judge Pete Shaffer during his direct testimony at the hearing. "I've lost the ability to (see) detail out of this eye. Things are blurry."

He said he would need additional surgery to his right eye that suffered injury to the cornea and retina, as well as rehabilitation therapy for facial nerve wounds.

Shaffer, following Fairtrace's testimony, ordered 19-year-old Jase W. Charlton, who has no known address, to stand trial on attempted murder and other charges in the July 20 shooting.

Earlier at the hearing, Butler police Capt. David Dalcamo testified that Charlton admitted his role in the shooting.

"(Charlton) agreed he was responsible for shooting Mr. Fairtrace," Dalcamo said.

The defendant has remained in the Butler County Prison on $100,000 bail since his arrest July 22.

Following the hearing, Dalcamo said his investigation continues but he declined to say if anyone else could be charged in the shooting.
