LILLINGTON — Rebecca Dawson — the woman who is accused of partially castrating a man with her bare hands — has a new court date. Her retrial is scheduled to start Aug. 25... 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...

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... She said she had a grip on Russ’ scrotum, trying to defend herself, when he fell over a box and tore the skin.

At the risk of being accused of gender profiling, does anyone else care to guess which four jurors voted to acquit Dawson? As a guy who's very attached to his own testicles, I'm all for justice here, but a retrial is a complete waste of taxpayer's dollars. Until they get a jury that's 12 men or 12 women, this thing is a just another deadlock waiting to happen. The only chance the prosecution has would be if, during the empanelment, when they ask questions like "Are you more likely to believe a police officer?" or "Are you less likely to believe a minority defendant?" they added the question "Have you ever considered tearing a guy's ballbag off?" Because if they did, 100% of women would raise their hand. Even the meekest, most timid woman on Earth has either given it serious thought or at the very least given a "You go, Girl" to every story of where a chick has actually gone through with it. They can claim to hate violent movies, violent sports and even the Three Stooges, but for some reason they think separating a guy from his Wife's Best Friend is their goddamned birthright.
