This is Nuts!

LILLINGTON — Rebecca Dawson — the woman who is accused of partially castrating a man with her bare hands — has a new court date.

Dawson’s December 2007 trial ended in a deadlock after four women and eight men could not agree on a unanimous decision. Four jurors voted to acquit Dawson, Wunsch said.

“If this does happen and we do need to go to trial, we will be ready,” Wunsch said. “This is a case that I feel very strongly that my client is and was not guilty. I think it is clear from the first trial that she was acting in self-defense.”

In December 2006, Dawson was charged with felony counts of malicious castration, assault with serious bodily injury, malicious conduct by a prisoner and misdemeanor injury to property after former Special Forces soldier Ken Russ was maimed at a Christmas party. During the last trial, Russ testified that an intoxicated Dawson sank her acrylic nails into his scrotum after he refused to let her drive home.

Dawson testified that she was defending herself from Russ, who had asked her to engage in a sex act with both him and his girlfriend Tanya “Niki” Castello. A naked Russ pinned Dawson to a wall and hit her after Castello became sick from drinking, Dawson testified. She said she had a grip on Russ’ scrotum, trying to defend herself, when he fell over a box and tore the skin.

-ANY wager whatsoever who the four that voted to acquit were?
