FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - For years, Oneal Ron Morris has been in the headlines for illegally injecting Super Glue and Fix-A-Flat into the backsides of women, an act that led to the death of one of her patients.
During a Monday court appearance, Morris called herself a victim of media attention and said she took a plea deal so she wouldn't have to face a jury in the manslaughter case of one of her patients.
Morris, who is a transgender woman, was sentenced to 10 years in prison and five years of probation. She will serve her sentence in a men's prison.
The sentencing came after Shartaka Nuby, a woman Morris considered a sister, paid for a butt injection five years ago. She subsequently had complications and died.
In court Monday, Morris complained about the media attention.
"I've been found guilty by the media and outside sources based on lies," she said.
Those words were not enough for family and friends of the victim.
"So as far as I'm concerned, 15 years is not enough," someone who knew the victim told the judge.
Police said that Morris made a business out of performing cut-rate cosmetic procedures.
Nuby's mother spoke in court and said she believes Morris should take responsibility for her actions.
"My daughter died the most inhumane death," she said. "(For) 18 months she suffered with not knowing the full (story) of what she put in her body."
Morris disagreed in court.
"I have never ever or would dare ever to inject or have injected any human with any type of unknown substance," Morris said.
This marks the second time Morris will be incarcerated for butt injection crimes, as she'd previously served a sentence in Miami-Dade County for practicing medicine without a license.
I’m sure he had her on speed dial.
This country is going to Hell in a hand basket. Thank you Bill Clinton, Democrats, the media and the academy. Oh, and the main stream churches.
Transgender people are mentally ill.
Also, any lady can have a nice butt with a little work with the squat rack. No fix-a-flat required.
The ‘doctor’ was just helping Obama care patients. I think I saw him/her/it in Walmart buying cases of fix a flat, didn’t it’s patient saw her license? It was from Hillary Clinton University... :-)
Great Monty Python movie!
No flame here, I just don’t understand why people would want to change their bodies except for repair of a disfiguring injury.
Many years ago, there was an article in Nature Magazine (one of those short silly ones toward the beginning) that pointed out that in societies where food is scarce, “fat” is beautiful. In societies where food is plentiful, “thin” is beautiful.
OMG, Dilbert. I will not flame you, but I had to look it up to see what the hell you were talking about. I am the youngest of 10 girls in my family and I guess I don’t recall any of us discussing our embarrassment over this. Wow!! Did not know there was such difference. Again, WOW!! I am 64 and I may have to run out and compare with my 78 year old sister. LOL!! Cannot even imagine woman would concern over this, let alone know they were “different”.
