Harriet Lechter? Cannibal Murderess Seeks Acquittal due to Her Gender

Roy writes "This one's so over the top it begs belief! An Australian grandmother who skinned and cooked her de facto husband will plead with a court to overturn her life sentence - because she is a woman. The mother of four pleaded guilty to murder after hubby's body was found on the floor of his Aberdeen home in the Hunter Valley in 2000. She worked as a slicer and packer at Aberdeen Abattoir and her lover had been carefully skinned and his skin hung on a meat hook in a doorway at the house. His decapitated head was found in a pot on the stove. The table had been laid for dinner with name cards for Mr Price's three children and parts of his buttocks cooked and served up with vegetables and gravy on dinner plates. Her solicitor refused to comment on the grounds of her appeal, due to be heard this week, but it is understood it involves innovative grounds, including that she is a woman."
