Makes sense to me…
Jacob M. Christine says if he was slashed with a razor, he’d be happy to be slashed the way his alleged victim was.
Speaking at his preliminary hearing Thursday on charges he cut a fellow Northampton County Prison inmate across the throat, Christine insisted that the wound showed the assailant — whoever he was — took care to try to not kill.
”Whoever attacked him had a high regard for life,” said Christine, 21, who acted as his own attorney after, District Judge Gay Elwell of Easton said, he refused to request a public defender. ”Because the cut isn’t deep at all: It’s on his neck. It’s not on his face.”
This is one 21 year old who knows his anatomy. it’s a common myth that the neck is a more vulnerable place to be stabbed than the face. whenever im faced with a knife wielding attacker i always say “not the face!” and offer my throat instead not because of my vanity, but because i know that getting stabbed in or across my throat is much less life threatening than a slash across my cheek.
Besides, what about the was this 22 year old “victim”, testified he was eating dinner in his cell block June 8 when an inmate called him over to a cell and asked if he had tobacco.
this man is being unjustly charged and i think should be absolved of this crime and pardoned for the original crime that put him in prison in the first place. we need more citizens like him who show such a concern for life when they’re attacking people with razors.
The 200-pound chimpanzee named Travis went berserk in February when his owner, Sandra Herold, asked her friend and employee Charla Nash to help lure him back into her house in Stamford. The animal ripped off Nash’s hands, nose, lips and eyelids, and she remains in stable condition at the Cleveland Clinic.
