Catherine Kieu Becker's Penis Cutting Indictment Could Bring Life Behind Bars

Lorena Bobbitt v. Catherine Kieu Becker (right).

Suspect Catherine Kieu Becker, now unofficially known as the new Lorena Bobbitt, was grand-jury slapped with an indictment for alleged penis cutting so harsh that it could get her life in prison if she's convicted.

While we sometimes wonder if the justice system treats the ladies with kid gloves (especially when it comes to their own domestic violence and claims for alimony), this here case of a pared-down pecker is being messaged with the utmost of due diligence.

Men everywhere can exhale:

Our sister publication OC Weekly notes that ~~Bobbitt~~ Becker was handed an indictment charging the 48-year-old with "one felony count of torture, one felony count of aggravated mayhem, and a sentencing enhancement for the personal use of a knife."

What, exactly, did this seemingly upstanding Orange County lady do? (She pleaded not guilty by the way -- and remains behind bars in lieu of $1 million bail).

As LA Weekly's Simone Wilson explained, she had it out with her soon-to-be ex-husband over stay-overs at the house. And by stay-overs, we assume that we're talking about candle-lit, female stay-overs.

The two were already splitsville but CKB came over to his condo in Garden Grove last year to make the 60-year-old dinner (how nice). But what she made him was drugged tofu that knocked him out just enough so that he could witness his penis being cut off, but not enough so that he could do anything about it, authorities said.

Becker then allegedly threw the good half of the tool in the garbage disposal, which was then set to "on," according to prosecutors.

She called paramedics for him and told authorities he "deserved it," according to the allegations.

(We always deserve it. Tell any woman your girlfriend smacked you and her immediate response will be, "Well, what did you do?" Not that we'd know).

Anyway, as luck would have it, the brave (and hopefully glove-wearing) first responders actually retrieved the penis, or what was left of it, and the good doctors at UC Irvine Medical Center attempted a resurrection of biblical proportions.

But they refuse to say if the operation brought it back from the dead. And so, we might never know if this story has a truly happy ending.

I hope she's put in jail for life. She gives women a bad name.

She should be given the death penalty. Why should the taxpayers be burdened with giving this sow room and board for the rest of her pathetic little life? Sigh. But then, in this society, men are accused, women are excused.

LOL, even if given the death penalty, which she might be, she would spend decades in jail on appeals awaiting her execution. Either way, we lose as the taxpayer. Just sayin'.

lorena bobbitt never served any time in prison for her actions. this is not a that much of rare thing these days. no punishment = no problem = no justice. maybe the next time a woman is brutalized, half of us can come on here and make jokes about it.

ever heard of the term mangina? it really does fit these types.

I'm amazed that anyone could possibly find humor in this story. Would you make jokes if a man sexually mutilated a wife or girlfriend?

Frankly, a life sentence is more than warranted for several reasons:1.This was premeditated.2.Only an evil mind can contemplate an act so vicious and heinous especially on a defenseless victim.3.An example must be made in order to send a message that a hideous crime such as this is in no way anything to find humor in and will not be tolerated in a civilized society.

For those who may feel otherwise...envision it happening to your sons or nephews.
