"although one realtor pal told DailyMail.com the Boucher property probably didn't sell simply because it was overpriced..."

No kidding.

The perp is deranged. Lock him up until he gets better and then let him serve his time for the crime.

And he scared off any potential buyers because he is a whack job.

Boucher needs the book thrown at him. I don't care what your next door neighbor is doing on their land. If it somehow impacts your property negatively, that's just tough shit as long as it's not an illegal activity or against the covenants and deed restrictions.

Did this idiot try to offer Paul a deal, such as paying him x amount of dollars to remove the trees, as a reasonable person would have done, if the view was so important to him? I'd bet not.

Nothing justifies committing battery on another individual, the way this man did, especially if the victim is a U.S. senator. I can't even believe we are having this discussion in the U.S.

In Singapore, Boucher would be dead already, all of the skin caned publicly from his naked body, punishment for the bodily damage he inflicted upon a serious public official.
