Woman in severed penis case expected to enter plea

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2012/01/09/state/n074056S40.DTL

A California woman is expected to enter a plea to charges she cut off a man's penis and threw it in a garbage disposal....

Investigators say Kieu lived with the 60-year-old victim and the pair got into an argument over a future houseguest's visit.

After the man went to sleep, authorities say Kieu tied him to the bed, severed the organ and threw it into a garbage disposal.

With a sentencing enhancement for personal use of a knife, Kieu faces a possible life prison sentence if convicted.

Heh-heh, heh-heh, he said "enhancement"...
