Baby Mutilation Trial Begins

by Earl Morningstarr

The trial of Katherine Nadal who is accused of cutting off her baby boy’s genitals has begun this week.

On the opening day the court heard testimony that Nadal was a habitual drug abuser and showed no remorse or concern as her baby son, Holden Gothia almost bled to death. Nadal’s defence team are still insisting that the baby’s injuries were caused by the family’s 12 pound miniature dachshund and plan to provide an expert witness to confirm it is possible. For the prosecution several expert witnesses claim the wound was definitely caused by a knife or other sharp bladed instrument. Nadal had told police there was a torn and bloody nappy which proved the dog had attacked her son, but the nappy was never found. Nor were the boy’s penis or testicles. The family dog, which has been rehoused had no blood or human tissue anywhere on it or in it’s mouth.

Holden’s father Camden Gothia told the court this week that the night before the attack Nadal had gone out with a friend on the premise that they were going shopping. But in reality Nadal visited a “dope house” and returned home stoned, Nadal’s friend Tressa Shanley testified that this was the case. Authorities also confirmed that Nadal had a history of drug abuse and following the attack she had tested positive for cocaine, methadone and another drug.

The court also heard this week how the two parents argued the night before Holden’s emasculation about whether or not the boy should be circumcised. Camden Gothia argued against the procedure as he believed it would be painful for the child, Nadal was keen to have the boy circumcised.

In various witness testimonies the court heard graphic details of the five week old infant’s horrific injuries, and how his mother seemed uncaring and emotionless as paramedics and neighbours fought to save the little boy’s life. Even after Holden was rushed to hospital Nadal seemed only concerned with how long they would be in surgery and soon left the hospital to drink beer in a local bar.

Holden faces years of reconstructive surgery, he now lives with his father’s sister and her husband who have permanent custody of him. Camden Gothia is still in regular contact with his son.
