A Manhattan woman who admitted she forcibly branded an "R" on a former lover's body with a hot iron has been sentenced to five years in prison. Kristina Caban was sentenced for what state Supreme Court Justice Michael Obus called a "bizarre" crime that was "not remotely justifiable." Caban, 23, hatched the plan against Samir Sara for having sex with her once in 2004 and never calling her again, prosecutors said. Caban enlisted new boyfriend Robert Testagrossa to help brand a four-inch-high "R" on 23-year-old Samir's abdomen in October 2006, prosecutors said. Caban and Testagrossa, 27, pleaded guilty to assault in August 2007. Defense lawyer James Friedman calls Caban "a good kid" who "exercised poor judgment and got herself into a bad situation." |
