Man Accused of Shoving Phone Down Throat
The assault trial of a man accused of shoving a cell phone down a woman's throat has begun.
Prosecutors say 24-year-old Marlon Brando Gill was angry and jealous when he forced the phone into Melinda Abell's throat in December. But defense attorneys insist the 25-year-old victim swallowed the phone intentionally to prevent Gill from finding out who she'd been calling.
Gill is charged with felony first-degree assault.
A doctor at a Kansas City hospital's emergency room used a tool called a "pincher" to remove the phone from Abell's throat.
She testified yesterday that she couldn't remember how the phone got in her throat, saying she drank too much that night. Court records show that her blood alcohol content was three times the legal limit.
Gort, I'm just learning this blogging thing. I find it is very hard to work a real job and campaign everyday. There is a campaign site attached to my Blog now, that gives info for donations.
ReplyDeleteI also would like to cooment that we don't allow alcohol consumption while driving, I would argue Cell Phone use is even more Dangerous.
