Woman Pulls Off Husband's Genitals, MAY Face Charges

RandomMan writes "A women 'pulled off' her husband's genitals when she discovered he was cheating on her. Story here. It's a sad story, but it wasn't treated as 'humorous' and the article pointedly mentions the fact that 'authorities said she could have faced attempted murder'. Why doesn't she still face attempted murder charges, since her violent actions could easily have resulted in the man's death? I was under the impression that the victim did not need to actually die for his or her assailant to be guilty of 'attempted' murder. I feel terribly sorry for the man involved, and wish him a full and speedy recovery, but I'm pleased that the media and the police didn't make their usual attempt to laugh this attempted murder off as has been the norm in recent years. It's nice to see that mutilating and attempting to kill one's intimate partner is finally starting to matter to police, even if the attacker is a woman."
