Argentine justice on Wednesday sentenced 13 years in prison for attempted homicide, aggravated by alevosía, to a young woman who cut her lover's penis with pruning shears.
Brenda Barattini , 28, was found guilty by a popular jury in the trial carried out by the Chamber 2 of the Crime of the city of Córdoba , Argentina.
"I am very sorry for what I did, I never wanted to kill anyone. I ask that Justice be done. I screwed up my life , I want to continue with my normal life," the defendant cried shortly before hearing the sentence.
During the process, the woman had admitted that she planned to hurt her partner but not kill him, because he "treated her like a trophy," and had shared with her friends videos of her in an intimate situation. "It violated my intimacy, my life and my career. It had ruined everything," said the woman.
His lawyer, Iván Sironi , anticipated that he will appeal the sentence. "In the history of the Argentine Justice there is no conviction for attempted murder aggravated by a penis injury," he said. Prosecutor Laura Battistelli said the jury agreed that " the accused wanted to take the man's life ."
When declaring at the trial, the victim, named Sergio F., 42, said that on November 25, 2017 Barattini cheated on him , he sold his eyes as an erotic game but used pruning shears . He managed to leave Barattini's apartment while losing a lot of blood and was helped by neighbors who heard his screams.
The man, who was married, had to undergo several reconstruction operations .
