Dominatrix acquitted of manslaughter
DEDHAM, Mass. -- A dominatrix was acquitted of manslaughter today in the death of a man who prosecutors say suffered a fatal heart attack while strapped to a replica of a medieval torture device.
The jury in Norfolk Superior Court deliberated for eight hours over two days before finding Barbara Asher, 56, not guilty of involuntary manslaughter and dismemberment.
During his closing argument, prosecutor Robert Nelson had re-enacted the bondage session that allegedly killed Michael Lord, 53, of North Hampton, N.H., in July 2000.
