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.
