There was a case years ago in MA where a guy died during an S&M session and IIRC, the court seemed willing to let the woman go because it was consensual/accidental — but because the woman took a chainsaw and dismembered the guy in an attempt to conceal the “accident”, the court eventually decided that she needed jail time.
Wow
Ah, every 5 or so years an old guy croaks in a manhattan dungeon of a heart attack from getting beaten or whatever.
What an obituary that makes for! :)
That goes so far back I remember seeing it in the first pages of a PAPER New York Post!
