Woman Convicted of Severing Husband's Penis
Ouch
A Southern California jury has convicted a woman accused of severing her estranged husband's penis.
Catherine Kieu was found guilty Monday of torture and aggravated mayhem for the July 11, 2011, attack.
Prosecutors in Orange County say the 50-year-old Kieu drugged her husband, cut off his penis and tossed it in the garbage disposal. The man is not being named by The Associated Press because of the nature of the attack.

Probably the only time I'll ever have any sympathy for the cops in Virginia, and only for the poor schmuck that made the 'save'
