Reuters: A judge sentenced a Southern California woman who cut off her estranged husband’s penis and tossed it in the garbage disposal to life in prison with the possibility of parole.Catherine Kieu, 50, was convicted by an Orange County jury in April of aggravated mayhem and torture following the July 2011 assault on her ex-husband.
Kieu drugged her former spouse before tying him up and severing his penis with a knife. She then threw it into the garbage disposal unit.
An attorney for Vietnam-born Kieu argued at trial that she had suffered sexual abuse as a child which left her with post-traumatic stress. She was remorseful about the attack, he said.
After the sentencing hearing, the victim – identified only as “Glen” – said he wished Orange County Superior Court Judge Richard Toohey could have given Kieu more time behind bars, City News Service reported.
“Deep down inside I was hoping for a stronger sentence, but given the restraints of the law this is what he had to do,” he said.
“There may be a situation where I can be happy, but whole? Never … I’ve got a long ways to go.”

I don’t know why, but your text is very small. I have to read it with a magnifying glass.
Sorry Pete… I see that I am able to read other of your posts. I guess just this one seemed a bit small to me.
Thanks for the support old friend.
It is extremely unfortunate that this woman allowed the actions of her husband to cause her to react and forever change the path of her life. Sure, now the man is no longer able to do what probably got the both of them in this situation in the first place, but now this woman’s life as a free woman is over.
