A sad day for feminism, indeed. This is probably the most misogynistic court decision since the birth of the Patriarchy.Attorneys for Catherine Kieu Becker tried to argue on appeal that the 51-year-old Garden Grove woman should not have been convicted of torture last year because there was "insufficient evidence she intended to cause cruel or extreme pain and suffering" on her husband, whose penis she sliced off before tossing it into the garbage disposal, turning the appliance on and telling cops he "deserved" it.
Catherine Kieu Guilty of Torturing Husband by Slicing Off Penis
And that, ladies and germs, is why The Most Ballsy Court Move of the Decade is being awarded to the appeal attorneys for Catherine Kieu Becker. Hell, I suffered cruel or extreme pain and suffering just reading about what she did all over again--cruel and extreme physical and emotional pain.
In its rejection of the appeal, a three-justice panel of the state's 4th District Court of Appeal ruled that Kieu telling investigators that her husband "deserved" to have his member removed permanently showed she intended to inflict pain.
"The jury could reasonably infer defendant's repeated phrase, 'You deserve it,' while the victim was in excruciating pain meant defendant intended to cause that pain," reads the ruling.
