84-year-old Elginite faces life sentence over cop's cut finger

ST. CHARLES TWP. — Spending the rest of one’s life in prison for cutting a person’s finger with your own fingernail? That could happen to Rosella Robinson of Elgin, because 1.) the finger she’s accused of cutting was on the hand of a policeman, 2.) she has a history of past run-ins with the law related to drugs and 3.) she happens to be 84 years old.

Robinson’s bench trial on aggravated battery and resisting arrest charges began Friday before 16th Circuit Judge David Akemann. It will continue, and is expected to end, on Tuesday.

The octogenarian is accused of struggling with Elgin police Officer Anthony Rigano following a traffic stop outside her daughter’s home on July 18, 2011. As a result of the struggle, Rigano testified, he sustained a 1-inch cut around the top of his left index finger, either because he was stabbed by one of Robinson’s finger nails or because the struggle caused his finger to become caught in a ring of keys he was trying to remove from the ignition of Robinson’s car.

G-spot 'does exist'

Despite Dr Ostrzenski's certainty, his finding is unlikely to be the final word on the matter.

Earlier this year a rival medic, Dr Amichai Kilchevsky of the Yale-New Haven Hospital in Connecticut, said after reviewing 100 studies that there was no conclusive evidence of its existence.

He hoped it would take the pressure off men and women during sex.

Professor Kevan Wylie, a sexual medicine consultant in Sheffield and associate editor of the Journal of Sexual Medicine, said its existence could not be confirmed by a single post mortem.

There were other theories that did not rely on the existence of the G-spot to explain female orgasms, he said.

Others are disdainful of the continued fascination with female sexuality in general, and the G-spot in particular.

Dr Petra Boynton, a lecturer in health services research at University College London, said: "We persistently try and make out there are unique parts of the female genitals that should or should not be stimulated to encourage orgasm."
