Ouch! Woman guilty of throwing husband's pen*s in garbage disposal
SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A Southern California jury has convicted a woman who was accused of drugging her estranged husband before severing his pen*s and tossing it in the garbage disposal. Jurors found Catherine Kieu guilty Monday of charges of torture and aggravated mayhem for the July 11, 2011, attack.
Deputy District Attorney John Christl told jurors that Kieu, 50, drugged the man's tofu with sleeping pills and screamed "You deserve it!" before attacking him with a 10-inch kitchen knife. Audio of the incident was captured by a voice-activated recorder Kieu had hidden in the bedroom, Christl said.
Kieu was jealous and angry about her husband's plans to divorce her because he was seeing his ex-girlfriend, the prosecution said. Kieu had mental health problems caused by a childhood full of molestation and other trauma in war-torn Vietnam and her husband also constantly demanded s*x in ways that caused her pain, Bittar said.
The man, who is not being named by the AP because of the nature of the attack, married Kieu after they met at a gym but soon subjected Kieu to verbal and s*xual abuse, Kieu's public defender, Frank Bittar, said during trial. During trial, the 60-year-old victim testified that his ***** could not be reattached and that he felt as though he had been murdered.
