Guest c4evap Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 HOT OFF THE PRESSES - DATELINE--> DEDHAM, MASS. USA A dominatrix was acquitted of manslaughter Monday in the death of a man who prosecutors say suffered a heart attack while strapped to a replica of a medieval rack. Barbara Asher, a 56-year-old woman who called herself Mistress Lauren M, was also cleared of dismemberment. Prosecutors said that 53-year-old Michael Lord suffered a heart attack in 2000 during a bondage session in a "dungeon" in Asher's condominium and that Asher did nothing to help him for five minutes for fear authorities would find out about her business. Asher had her boyfriend chop up the body of the 275-pound retired telephone company worker, and they dumped it behind a restaurant in Maine, prosecutors said. His remains have never been found. Prosecutors said Asher confessed to police, but the alleged confession was not taped, and investigators testified they did not save their notes. Asher's lawyer, Stephanie Page, said there was nothing to prove Lord was even dead  no body, no blood, no DNA. During his closing argument to the jury, prosecutor Robert Nelson put on a black leather mask with a zippered mouth opening and re-enacted the bondage session. With both hands, he reached back and clutched the top of a blackboard as if strapped to the rack. Then he hung his head as if dead. I'm telling ya - you can't make this stuff up. c4 :thinking: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theaveng Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Why would they hide the body? After all, volunteering to tie yourself to a rack is not illegal. Dummies. Better to just call the local Hospital to haul away the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

str82u Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 That's kinda, not kinda, but really messed up. The gal chops up a dead body to conceal her prostitution bussiness and doesn't even get charged for dismembering a corpse. Technicalities are messed up until you get off on one I suppose.
