A SCARBOROUGH woman fought back tears yesterday as she described the harrowing day that her lover bit off her nose, drank her blood and tortured her in an ordeal that lasted hours until heavily armed police broke into her apartment and rescued her. The accused assailant, Angel Jones, 27, fired his lawyer yesterday and then conducted cross-examination himself.
"You bit my nose off and you spit it out," the woman said to Jones.
"I thought I was going to die. Nobody was coming for me ... it felt like hours and hours and hours," the woman told Justice Norman Dyson.
She said Jones squatted upon her and forced her to perform sex acts while her nose bled.

"That excuse has to go in the all-time-best loosing legal defense category."
Reminds me of a story I heard once about a defense lawyer who couldn't keep his mouth shut.
At trial, the defendant was accused of biting off a man's ear in a bar-room brawl. During cross-examination of the only witness, the defendant's lawyer asked the witness if he had seen the defendant actually bite off the man's ear.
When the witness replied: "No, I didn't see that." the lawyers should have shut up and claimed the victory. But, he pressed on with: "Then what makes you think my client bit off this man's ear". The witness replied: "I didn't see him bite it off, but I did see him spit it out."
Don't get snotty with me baby!
Boy what a creep.
