NDEPENDENCE, Missouri (AP) -- A jury convicted a man of second-degree domestic assault Saturday for shoving a cell phone down his girlfriend's throat.

Prosecutors said Marlon Brando Gill, 25, of Kansas City, forced the cell phone into Melinda Abell's mouth during a quarrel in December 2005.

Gill denied the charge, claiming that Abel had tried to swallow the phone to prevent him from finding out whom she had been calling.

Abell, 25, of Blue Springs was rushed to a hospital, where doctors removed the phone. Doctors said she nearly choked to death.

3. Right?

Like, that's really fucked up, but what a defense... who would try to swallow a phone? How about stomping on it?

5. Not that I haven't wanted to

put someone's cell phone where the sun doesn't shine on more than one occasion. But that was for being exceedingly annoying in public on the phone instead of this kind of behavior.
