Manslaughter verdict in buttocks-injection trial By HOLBROOK MOHR, Associated Press Updated 8:21 pm, Friday, January 31, 2014
JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A woman was found guilty of culpable negligence manslaughter Friday in connection with the illicit silicone buttocks injections that prosecutors say killed a Georgia woman in 2012.
Natasha Stewart (http://www.seattlepi.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news%2Fcrime&search=1&inlineLink=1&query=%22Natasha+Stewart%22), of suburban Memphis, Tenn., was found guilty Friday in Jackson, Miss., in the death of 37-year-old Karima Gordon (http://www.seattlepi.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news%2Fcrime&search=1&inlineLink=1&query=%22Karima+Gordon%22) of Atlanta.
Stewart had been charged with "depraved-heart" murder, defined as a "callous disregard for human life" resulting in death, which carries a maximum penalty of life in prison. She also had been charged with conspiracy to commit murder.
Jurors decided to go with the option they had been given to convict Stewart of the lesser charge. They also found her guilty of conspiracy to commit culpable negligence manslaughter. She faces up to 20 years in prison for each charge. A sentencing date has not yet been set.

Stewart isn't the woman who did the injecting, for those of you not clicking through.


Authorities say Stewart, an adult entertainer also known as Pebbelz Da Model, took $200 for a referral to the alleged injector and falsely represented that the injector was a nurse.


Stewart testified Friday that Gordon was insecure about her body and wanted help fixing previously botched buttocks enhancements. Stewart said she connected Gordon with the woman performing the injections to help her out, not for money, but she said Gordon insisted on paying her.


Stewart also testified that she thought the woman performing the injections at a Jackson house (http://www.seattlepi.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news%2Fcrime&search=1&inlineLink=1&query=%22Jackson+house%22)was indeed a registered nurse and had gotten the injections herself more than 20 times over seven years.


"She told me that she was an RN," Stewart testified.


But Patrick Beasley (http://www.seattlepi.com/?controllerName=search&action=search&channel=news%2Fcrime&search=1&inlineLink=1&query=%22Patrick+Beasley%22), a prosecutor with the Mississippi attorney general's office, said someone would have to be "dumb" not to know Garner wasn't a nurse when she used veterinary syringes and sealed the injection sites with cotton balls and glue.


Right. Because people not in the medical profession would immediately recognize veterinary syringes.

I didn't know there was a difference. I've always used 10cc syringes I'd bought in bulk at the medical supply store, to give my horses injections.

But if you ask questions of the doctor's advice, people will say that you're just too dumb to understand what he said.


Kelly Thomas was beaten to death on video, but this will get more justice than that.
