VICTORVILLE — A woman who strangled a friend with her bra when she discovered he had taken one of her undergarments has been sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.
Karen Denise Chades was drinking and dancing with 67-year-old Sesario "Rocky" Roque, a friend and neighbor, in his garage after a party on Sept. 24, 2002, when she discovered that Roque had one of her bras.
Enraged, Chades attacked Roque with a broom, knocking back two of the victim's teeth. She then strangled him with the bra, jurors found.
Deputies arrested Chades in August 2003, at her home in the 12200 block of San Dimas Street in connection with Roque's death.
Deputy District Attorney John Thomas argued during the trial that Chades deliberately and with premeditation strangled Roque.
Her defense attorney argued that Chades had acted in self-defense.
The jury didn't believe her story that Roque, who had a blood-alcohol level of 0.29, had tried to sexually assault her.
Chades, who was 40 years old when convicted on June 8, was sentenced on April 29 after she was denied a new trial.
Obviously it wasn't a Playtex Living Bra or he'd still be here.
Bro?
What is inside is usually deadlier...
(no, I am not posting a picture...)
I wonder if the guy was wearing the bra. It doesn't say!
We won't tell the moderator, promise!
Blotto!
The bra that Roque Chades' back.
ROFL!
I wonder if she was wearing the bra when strangling him. At least he woulda died with a smile.
Position 70?
DO I want to know what that is?
I figured you meant she was wearing it when she did the nasty
deed.
;^)
I did. But I don't know what position 70 means. News to my virgin ears!
You'd have thought she'd get 36 to life.
You men "Bra-to", right?
In-double-deed!
Well I guess he handed her the noose.
