Wife Poisoned Man for Breast Implants

What a shocking news..y must u killed him just for those sinkers..poor husband,,i'm sorry for him..read the full story..

A CALIFORNIA woman was convicted today of poisoning her Marine husband with arsenic to cash in his $US250,000 ($323,000) life insurance policy and pay for breast implants and a party lifestyle.

Cynthia Sommer, a 33-year-old mother of four, faces life in prison without parole for the 2002 death of her husband Todd, 23, at the Marine Corps Air Station in Miramar, near San Diego.

In a largely circumstantial case, prosecutors said Sommer had at first convinced people she was a widow grieving the loss of her husband, whose official cause of death was given as a heart attack.

But prosecutors told the jury Sommer made four inquiries about money within five hours of her husband's death.

In the next few weeks, she paid $US5400 for breast implants, had sex with three male Marines and a woman, hosted loud parties at her house and participated in a wet T-shirt and thong contest in the Mexican border town of Tijuana, they said.

It was not clear how the poison was delivered but prosecutors said Sommer may have used the bait in retail ant traps.

Tests in 2003 showed Todd Sommer had more than 1000 times the normal level of arsenic in his liver.

Sommer, who was arrested in 2005, said she had her breasts enlarged to help herself feel better about her husband's death.

She is engaged to a former Marine she met about two months after she was widowed.

Sommer was found guilty of murder, murder for financial gain and murder by poison.

Prosecutors had decided not to seek the death penalty.

She will be sentenced in March.

Breast Implant Anyone? Think twice!

I found this article, its so scary to know the impact of having breast implant. According to treports,3% suffer leakage within three years causing a deflated implant

Occasionally, breast implants may break or leak. The saline fill is salt water and will be absorbed by the body without ill effects. Older implants with silicone gel can leak also. If this occurs, one of two things may occur. If breakage of the implant shell that has a contracture scar around it, then it may not feel like anything has happed. If the shell breaks and there is not a contracture scar, then leakage into the surrounding tissue results in a sensation that the implant is deflating. The leaking gel may collect in the breast and a new scar may form around it. In other cases gel can migrate through the lymphatic system to another area of the body. Breaks may require a second operation and replacement of the leaking implant. If the gel has migrated it may not be possible to remove all of the silicone gel. This silicone gel is the what some say is related to the initiation of connective tissue disorders.

One study they reviewed showed that 63.6% of breast implants which had been in place for between one and 25 years had ruptured or were leaking. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/33450.stm)
