An aging dominatrix cleared yesterday in the death and dismemberment of a man strapped to a torture rack called the ordeal “emotionally draining,” while the deceased’s elderly mother blamed the verdict on jury “liberals.”

“I just wish we could have gotten a little justice,” Audrey Lord said yesterday from her Texas home. “Some of those New Englanders are pretty wise but a lot are liberals. I sort of expected it.”

Unbelievable. She's a sadist and he the DEAD masochist. Who is she gonna chop up next? Can't they put her away for desecrating a body?

[Semper Paratus]

Liberals will deal with it by passing a law requiring all S&M contracts in Massachusetts have a warning clause that being chained in a dudgeon could be hazardous to your health.

An aging dominatrix

There's some punishment for her.

[MeanWestTexan]

I just like how they called her a "sex worker."

I guess that is Yankee talk for "whore."

[linda_22003]

Then it's a punishment we all share. Is there anyone here who isn't aging? :)

[yellowdoghunter]

What a disgrace this was! However, being Mass. it does not surprise me. I am just thankful I don't live in Mass. and have never been there nor will I ever go there. I wish we could kick them out of the Union, (but keep the good freepers!)

Check out her picture. She looks like a ghoul.

With all due respect to Mrs. Lord, what was her son doing in the dungeon? Doesn't sound like he was kidnapped.

Give me about a 48-hour notice. :-)

Fumbling by the detectives, absence of evidence and speculation by the prosecution...... no wonder the jury let her go.

Conviction requires "proof beyond a reasonable doubt".

Police said she confessed... but can provide the confession and "lost" their notes. Defendant says no confession.

No body to support the claim that he died of a heart attack. So that is pure speculation.

If you want to get mad at someone, get mad at the Prosecution.

[rhombus]

Kind of hard to get a conviction with no body and a confession that no one bothered to tape.

“She’s a very sensitive, intelligent woman who found herself caught up in a nightmare.”

Ping for the “sensitive persons finding themselves in awkward situations” list.

Yeah...but I've never had a newspaper story about me, particularly one that started off that way.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

It's the state of the party of choice. So I guess if you choose to go into S and M settings, and one person does not come out alive. That is the way it is. Typical libspeak, huh?

[yellowdoghunter]

Give me about a 48-hour notice. :-)

LOL! That is why I included getting all the good Freepers out. Plus, I want to make it clear that I am not bashing the whole state of MASS. I know not everyone is a crazy liberal. And it pains me to say anything bad about that state, since it is one of the 13 original colonies, has a great place in American history, etc....it hurts me to see it turned into what it has become.

BOO!

With all due respect to Mrs. Lord, what was her son doing in the dungeon? Doesn't sound like he was kidnapped.

Why do you think he was living in Mass? Maybe he'd heard his mom going on about those "liberal perverts" on the East Coast, and decided he wanted to get him some o' dat...

At FR, however, the presumption of innocence is only in place for those who are not "pervs", liberals, and/or Democrats.
