Rapist to Go Nutless for Reduced Term

Talk about choosing the lesser of two evils.  Let's see...life in prison...or...get your balls cut off and be out in 25.  Take this as a perfect example of why crime most assuredly does NOT pay.

Bobby James Allen pleaded guilty Monday to three counts of armed sexual battery and various other charges involving attacks that happened in 1998 and 1999. Allen filed a motion requesting castration in exchange for a reduced sentence.

Circuit Judge Michael Overstreet agreed to sentence Allen to 25 years' prison on Sept. 20 if has the procedure in the next eight days. If Allen does not go through with the operation, he faces up to life in prison.

"You understand that this procedure is the removal of your testicles?" Overstreet asked Allen.

"I have spoken with all the victims," prosecutor Larry Basford told Overstreet. "They agree that this sentence punishes him and would deter him and others from similar acts."

I want to go hug mine right now and tell them it's going to be alright.
