Man's buttocks cut off in attack From correspondents in Birmingham, Alabama
14jun02A WOMAN enraged at her boyfriend attacked him with a knife and cut off nearly all of his buttocks, before leaving him near death on a dark, rural road in America's deep south, authorities have claimed. The injuries were so severe investigators in Alabama initially believed the victim was sexually tortured and dragged behind a car in a possible hate crime, a US prosecutor said today.
"This ain't right," Kimberly King, 26, of Aliceville, told a TV news crew as she was arrested and jailed without bail.
Her boyfriend, Rodney Outlaw, 25, has not fully described what happened to police.
But they said they believed King was responsible and acted alone. She has been charged with attempted murder.
"The gruesome nature of the injuries is almost mind-boggling," said District Attorney Chris McCool.
"With the trauma of the attack, how do you talk about that?"
He alleged that King and her boyfriend had been at a bar in Mississippi late on Saturday or early on Sunday, but left separately after an argument.
Police said she pulled up behind Outlaw's vehicle on an isolated highway near Aliceville, Alabama, and began stabbing him with a large knife.
When he fell, "she got down on him and just started cutting," McCool claimed.
Outlaw regained consciousness some time later. He drove about 15 kilometres to the nearest home and today was still in hospital.
Aliceville is about 130 kilometres south-west of Birmingham, Alabama.

Can you please provide us with your commentary on this story and do you have any kind words to the Blass family?
http://www.cnn.com/2002/SHOWBIZ/News/06/13/obit.blass.ap/index.html
NEW YORK (AP) -- Bill Blass, who dressed the likes of Nancy Reagan and Barbara Walters while shattering the Paris-centric fashion world with youthful creations that mixed-and-matched chic with casual, has died.
Blass died Wednesday at his home in Washington, Conn., according to Joe Lillis of Lillis Funeral Home in New Milford, Conn. A friend of the designer, Helen O'Hagan, said Blass died of cancer. He was 79.
"It's a great loss. He was an extraordinary man and a great designer," said Fern Mallis, the director of 7th on Sixth, a fashion organization which produces New York's Fashion Week.
Blass' sense of line, color and style took him from a sketcher's desk to the helm of his own $700-million-a-year company in a career that spanned six decades and came to define American style.
EXTRA INFORMATION Gallery: Bill Blass' final collection He designed clothes for a host of famous women, including first ladies and actresses who paid from $800 for a sweater to thousands of dollars for an evening gown.
Blass said he designed for the woman "not obsessed with fashion," who cares about clothes, but has a career, a family, a home and other interests.
"I love his clothes, because they are comfortable, wearable and pretty," Reagan, the former first lady, once said.
During his career, Blass expanded to design men's wear, swimwear, children's clothing, shoes, jewelry and furs. His designs were known for crisp elegance and simplicity, made from beautiful fabrics with sophisticated style.
"Each individual piece is a calculated attempt to entice women to add to their wardrobe," the designer told The Associated Press in 1997. "The women I know who have a great deal of money and go out all the time often wear clothes that are 2-3 years old. They buy new things to add to what they have."
He received numerous awards, including the Coty American Fashion Critics Award in 1961, 1963 and 1970, as well as the Council of Fashion Designers of America Award in 1986.
Blass, who never married, won women over with his designs and his charm. He had been listed as one of the best-dressed men in the country. New York fashion guru Nan Kempner once said, "I fell in love with him, like every woman. He was as warm, friendly, intelligent and talented as he was good-looking."
William Blass was born June 22, 1922, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, the only child of Ralph Blass, the owner of a hardware store, and Ethyl Blass, a dressmaker. Blass played football, worked on the school paper and studied art at South Side High School in Fort Wayne, where he graduated in 1939.
Blass started sketching designs when he was 17, and sold some to New York designers for $25 each.
"Something about glamour interested me," he told People magazine in 1999. "All my schoolbooks had drawings of women on terraces with a cocktail and a cigarette."
He moved to New York to study fashion at the Parsons School of Design, and worked as a sketch artist for a sportswear company before enlisting in the Army during World War II. After serving for 3 1/2 years, Blass was hired as a designer for the Manhattan firm of Anna Miller and Co.
Blass joined Maurice Rentner Ltd. in 1959 and two years later was made vice president of the company, which was renamed Bill Blass Ltd. in 1970. Blass sold the company in 1999 to two fashion executives for $50 million.
"I thought the end of the year, beginning of the new century, was the perfect time," he said at the time. "After all, I'd been doing it for 60 years."
For the past 20 years, Blass lived in the small western Connecticut community of New Preston atop a hill on property he helped protect through preservation efforts, said a local official, Selectman Nicholas Solley.
"He was private, but active in the community," Solley said.
Blass would sketch a new collection nearly four months before showing it to buyers and the press. He often sketched at home, saying there wasn't enough time to create during office hours.
Stan Herman, president of the Council of Fashion Designers of America, said Blass' last fashion show in September 1999 in New York, which was almost canceled because of a terrible storm, exemplified the designer's spirit.
"I remember his face vividly when he made the decision to go on," Herman said. "It was the great Blass 'Wow, this is life, I'll do the best I can."'
At the show, the audience stood as Blass emerged when the last model left the runway.
"There are not many standing ovations in fashion," Patrick McCarthy, chairman of Women's Wear Daily, told People magazine. "Bill just gave a little wave, barely perceptible, but it was a wave goodbye."

Over the parents' religious objections, a circuit judge told Florida Hospital doctors late Wednesday to give a premature baby girl a blood transfusion if needed to save her life.
Circuit Judge Fred Lauten granted the petition for the 1-day-old infant, whose parents are Jehovah's Witnesses. The baby's mother was 25 to 26 weeks pregnant when she gave birth, and the baby weighs less than one pound.
Her parents, Arquelio and Caridad Soto of Kissimmee, refused to give permission to doctors. Arquelio Soto cited Scripture and the couple's religious convictions.
"I believe Jehovah gave us life, and he'll do everything he can to keep the baby alive," Arquelio Soto told the judge in a conference call late Wednesday from the hospital room. "Anything but blood."
Jehovah's Witnesses' beliefs stem from Bible passages in which Israelites are instructed not to eat the blood of animals. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that means they can't allow the blood of animals, including that of humans, directly into their bodies.
Attorney Jack Holt, who represents the hospital, told Lauten that Florida Hospital does not take a stand on the issue but contacted the judge because the baby's life was at stake.
Assistant State Attorney Dalel Raide said state law allows a judge to order emergency medical treatment over the parents' objections.
Dr. Eduardo Lugo, a neonatologist treating the baby, said the baby's body would likely not produce enough hemoglobin, depriving major organs of oxygen. The baby could develop anemia or hemorrhage.
Lugo said experience had taught him that most babies born severely premature need a transfusion hours after birth or within weeks.
With a transfusion, Lugo gave the baby a 60 percent to 70 percent chance of survival. Without one, he said the baby had less than a 10 percent chance.
Lugo said that if doctors could not give her blood, "that would jeopardize giving oxygen to the brain, heart, and kidneys and would put the baby's life in jeopardy."
Arquelio Soto, 41, said he stood by his beliefs and did not like the hospital forcing the issue upon the family. His wife, Caridad, 38, said she agreed.
"My belief is that even if he died, we are doing the right thing," he said. "I believe Jehovah will help the baby."
Lugo said the baby could be given a drug to stimulate hemoglobin production, but it takes several weeks to work. Lugo said the baby was on an IV and had been receiving nutrition.
The temporary petition will be in place until a formal hearing can be scheduled.
Holt, the attorney for the hospital, emphasized that no one was blaming the parents.
"These parents are not neglecting their child or purposefully trying to injure him," Holt said. "No one is trying to say that."
