A woman accused of partially castrating a man with her fingernails at a Christmas party has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge rather than face another trial.
The Fayetteville Observer reports that Rebecca Dawson pleaded
guilty Monday in Harnett County Superior Court to misdemeanor
assault inflicting serious injury. Her retrial was scheduled to
begin Monday.
Dawson was accused of trying to tear off a man's scrotum at a
2006 Christmas party. Her defense attorney argued that Dawson
grabbed the man in self defense. But the man testified that an
intoxicated Dawson sank her nails into his genitals after he
refused to let her drive home.
During the first trial in December, jurors deadlocked 8-4 on
charges of malicious castration and assault with intent to inflict
serious injury.

I grew up on a farm out side this state and help a great many times with castration of farm animals. It hurts and I have heard about some men having it done but at a Christmas party is way out there. Just how much clothing was between his testicals and her fingernails? Sure don't want to run into her in a dark alley.

I guess they weren't Lee press-on nails. She should be charged with attempted murder , he could have bled to death.
