Cellphone choker facing prison

Filed under: Culture, Handsets
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.

Sounds fishy. How could anyone put a phone down someone's throat. First of all, it's gonna take a huge amount of work to get the throat open wide enough to accomodate the phone (if it could be done at all which is a big "if").

Then you have the gag response. The chick would have been puking all over the place.

Third, this is EASILY something that could have killed someone if attempted and it's hard to see how you would NOT have killed someone trying to do it.

I'm not buying this.
