INDEPENDENCE, Mo. - The assault trial of a man accused of shoving a cell phone down a woman's throat has begun.
Wonder if he called it to see if it would ring?
Prosecutors say 24-year-old Marlon Brando Gill was angry and jealous when he forced the phone into Melinda Abell's throat in December.
Marlon Brando Gill. I can almost smell the trailer park...
But defense attorneys insist the 25-year-old victim swallowed the phone intentionally to prevent Gill from finding out who she'd been calling.
Ah'll show yew, Marlon Brando Gill!!!
Gill is charged with felony first-degree assault.
A doctor at a Kansas City hospital's emergency room used a tool called a "pincher" to remove the phone from Abell's throat.
She testified yesterday that she couldn't remember how the phone got in her throat, saying she drank too much that night. Court records show that her blood alcohol content was three times the legal limit.
If your gonna eat your phone, or be fed your phone, it's probably good that your 3 times over the legal limit...
