We've seen cellphones turn into brutal weaponry more than a few times in our day, but in the latest unsolved mystery of a handset ending up in a potentially unfaithful SO's throat, it looks like justice is about to be served. Although it was previously assumed that a scandalous girlfriend attempted to swallow her mobile in order to prevent a suspicious boyfriend from finding out who was in her contact book, it now sounds like the enraged male in the situation could've forced it down there. In an admittedly awkward twist, a "jury convicted Marlon Gill of second-degree domestic assault" as they blamed him for putting her phone where her mouth is. Notably, jurors couldn't come to an agreement on an appropriate sentence, which means the decision will be left up to the judge, and personally, we feel the punishment should be much more severe if the mobile in question were of the smartphone (read: jumbo) variety.[Thanks, Lunar Dog]
I actually KNOW the victim of this crime, Mindy, and Marlon actually worked with us at Price Chopper Combo on Noland road, in Independence,MO. Anyways, I'm glad to see that this douchebag finally got convicted....he's the kind of guy that wouldn't do anything in front of other people but afterwards, like when him and mindy got in her car and left a party or something, he'd verbally abuse and get physical w/ her.....he's the classic example of a weak punk that would only hurt a helpless girl......he needs to go to prison for 10+ years IMO
That is quite bizarre.
so did she swallow the phone or did he force it? also just out of curiosity, what kind of phone? because if it was something small like a basic LG or antennaless samsung... but if it was something like a sanyo or a treo or something....ouch. but i hope she is ok. also...wonder if it was on vibrate...bet it would feel like butterflies or if it would tickle. sorry. just a thought. but seriously, i hope she is ok and hope everything turns out ok for her and he gets what he deserves.
