Monday January 8 8:35 AM ET Woman Who Bit Off Testicle Is Jailed

LONDON (Reuters) - A British woman who bit off the testicle of her best friend's husband's in a drunken fight was sentenced to six months in prison Monday.

Judge Gerard Harkins said the injury inflicted was so serious that a non-jail sentence could not be justified.

Carr, a mother-of-two, was celebrating with her husband the wedding of Neil and Shelley Hutchinson at a flat in Tyneside, North East England, when a drunken argument turned into a violent brawl.

Carr, who pleaded guilty to affray, stepped in to defend Shelley Hutchinson after her newly-wed husband attacked her. Neil Hutchinson then pinned Carr to the floor at which point she bit through his jeans and testicle.

Carr's lawyer told the court his client acted in self-defense and did not know which part of Hutchison's body she was biting.

Police called to the scene found the testicle, which could not be reattached, under a picture frame on the sitting room floor.

I have to wonder if the judge's gender colored his decision. In other words, would a female have made the same decision? Sorry fellas, but I am reminded of every male wince I have ever seen when they observed another male get hit in the crotch. Could the judge be a little oversensitive due to the area involved? Just a question.
