More details to this question:
Will it matter if I write a letter to the judge telling him what I have endured since my attack? Will that make a difference I would like to go to this hearing but I can't be in the same room with this man he almost killed me and I would faint if I ever saw him again.

Yes, you can send a letter to the judge and tell him how you feel. He will give it to the DA and the defense attorney. Most states call them victim impact statements. Alot of times, courts have victim right people in the courtroom. You should investigate if there is such a person.
