A Florida woman, O’Neal Morris was sentenced Monday to 10
years in prison after allegedly injecting a woman’s buttocks with cement, Super
Glue and other deadly toxins, resulting in her death.
She begged the court for mercy just before the judge handed
down the sentence, which includes five years of probation, in the death of
31-year-old Shatarka Nuby, WSVN reports.
Morris pleaded no contest to a charge of manslaughter along
with several counts of practicing medicine without a license and practicing
medicine without a license resulting in serious bodily injury, according to
court documents obtained by PEOPLE.
In court on Monday, Morris, 36, continued to deny the
allegations against her.
“I have never, ever, or would dare ever to inject, or have
injected any human with any type of unknown substance, such as Super Glue,
cement, Fix-a-Flat, concrete, nothing that comes from Home Depot, nothing that
comes out of any hardware store,” Morris said, according to WSVN.
She said she pleaded no contest because she didn’t think her
trial would be fair, the station reports.
Nuby died in 2012 in federal prison after earlier paying
Morris $2,000 for 10 butt injections — which officials
claimed contained silicone, mineral oil, cement, Fix-a-Flat and Super
Glue, according to the station.
Morris rebuked this, however, saying in court, “I would
never do that, so please don’t listen to the lies. Please do not listen to what
they’re reporting.”
Morris, also known as Duchess, allegedly posed as a doctor
for years, delivering illegal injections to clients who paid her to enhance the
appearance of their butts, the Sun Sentinel reports. The
first charges against her were filed in 2011, according to the paper.
Morris initially faced a manslaughter charge in Nuby’s
death. A medical examiner determined she died of lung disease caused by
“massive systemic silicone migration” as a result of the injections.
