Crazy News Story

from This Is True

In 2001, Katherine Knight of New South Wales, Australia, pleaded guilty to charges she stabbed John Price, her common law husband, 37 times. Police found his skin hanging from a meat hook, his head cooking on the stove, and discovered she had fed slices of his roasted buttocks to his children. The judge, noting her history of violent assault against domestic partners and her "coolness of planning" of the murder, sentenced her to life in prison. But now, defense attorneys complain a life sentence is "too harsh," and such a penalty should be reserved only for "the worst category of murder." Prosecutors oppose the appeal, noting evidence showed Knight enjoyed mutilating Price. Her defense lawyer retorts Knight, now 50, has a "personality disorder" that wasn't taken into account during her sentencing. (Brisbane Courier Mail)
