A former model, convicted nearly two decades ago of killing her husband and then cooking and eating parts of his body, has long claimed she was the victim of domestic violence that pushed her over the edge.
Omaima Aree Nelson is seeking early release from her 27-years-to-life sentence for murder, over Thanksgiving weekend in 1991.
According to prosecutors, Nelson was the first defendant to used the "battered wife" defense in Orange County, claiming her husband raped her the night before she killed him.
Nelson had an odd demeanor during hours of interviewing. "It was the most gruesome case I saw," said Phillips, who was with the department for 32 years. "She did not seem like a person that was coherent."
Nelson was in her 20s when she killed her husband, three decades her senior, and then dismembered and cooked parts of his body in their apartment. The couple had been married for about a month.
After the murder, Nelson cooked her husband's head on the stove, skinned his torso, fried his hands in oil and planned to leave his skull in the back bay.
Ex-model who ate husband's body parts claimed to be battered wife

I wonder if part of that meal was Thanksgiving dinner? *choke*
If they had only been married a month she possibly was a little "unwired" before hand.

Good heavens, are we a bunch of sick puppies or what? I LAUGHED at that story... maybe it is because I've been reading too much political stuff.
Yeah. That's it. I can claim insanity. Blame Newsvine. Or the overdone steak I had...

She claims he was abusive. Why then marry the guy if he is abusive? That is something I have never EVER understood.

#2 - Fri Sep 30, 2011 4:28 PM EDT#2: Why then marry the guy if he is abusive?
Because the abuse sometimes doesn't begin until after the "I-do's." I know: I married an abuser who never lifted a hand to me until after the wedding. I finally fled in fear for my life. That was 32 years ago.
At least I got out before it came to a "him vs. me" fight for life. I do enjoy remarking that I shed 200 lbs. of fat and cholesterol (when I divorced him)... can't imagine anyone looking at my ex and thinking of eating the S.O.B.!

#4.15: Royal Air Force.
Aha! The UK! We are kinda almost kin!
My father (Air Force) was stationed in England when Queen Elizabeth was crowned. He got to see it. We didn't even have TV in those days, but he brought back newspapers and other "souvenirs" of the occasion. When I was in the Air Force I didn't even get out of the States. Boo, hiss! I ended up in California. Nice enough place, but I'd hoped to do some travel overseas... never got to.
Sigh.

#5.7: Is that sad or scary?
Probably a little of both. But, it does remind me of when I first read that book, "Alive," about the plane crash in the Andes where the survivors ate their mates ... the more I read, the hungrier I got. But it wasn't that I suddenly felt cannibalistic; rather, it was the descriptions of real hunger than made me perseverate over food...
- 2 votes
oh with me, it doesn't make me hungry (being hungry makes me hungry, go figure), but it doesn't really affect me either way. a Monotone emotional state might be a better way to describe it.

Since she was a battered wife, maybe she'll follow Hannibal Lecter's example and only eat the rude. "Free-range" rude, he called them.
So mind your manners---or being invited for dinner might take on a completely unexpected dynamic.
