Cristal Richardson Accused Of Murdering And Castrating Cedric Owens In Dallas

Posted: 05/ 1/2012 7:26 pm Updated: 05/ 2/2012 1:40 pm

A Dallas woman is accused of stabbing a man to death and castrating him in a motel room on Saturday, KWTX reported.

A motel employee heard an early morning ruckus on the third floor and called police. Before cops arrived, Cristal Paulette Richardson, 28, allegedly burst naked from the room and was covered in blood, according to the Dallas Morning News

Police found Cedric Lamont Owen, 34, inside the room. His chest had been stabbed repeatedly, his throat was slit and his genitals were severed, according to police sources cited in media reports.

Doctors treated Richardson for cuts to her hands and fingers, CBS reported.

A knife was allegedly found in the room after cops obtained a search warrant.

Richardson has multiple previous arrests, according to the county jail's website. Her rap sheet includes driving under the influence, marijuana possession and child abuse.

Owens was no stranger to trouble with the law either. He had convictions for drug possession and domestic violence, according to the Dallas Morning News.

A judge set Richardson's bond at $200,000. Police have not identified a motive in the alleged murder.

If he wasn't high or drunk that must have hurt a lot. Especially, once his genitals were severed knowing that live or dead he was ruined as a man.

Puts me in mind of the cackling jackels on "The View" recently, with the chief vulture, Behar, joking endlessly about a man having his penis cut off and thrown into a disposal by a woman. The audience of women, likewise, laughed at her sick jokes. As usual, a woman can do anythng at all to a man and it's fine. If a man had said the same sort of things about the sexual mutilation of a woman, Behar would be first in line calling for his ouster from the airwaves. When one of the more rational cast members suggested Behar was going too far, she was dismissed, saying it was completely different if a man did it to a woman. If a man had said the same sort of things about the sexual mutilation of a woman, Behar would be first in line calling for his ouster from the airwaves. Typical hypocricy. I have yet to see anyone call for her head for her calous remarks.

She's covered in blood, the article didn't specify if her injuries were consistent with defensive wounds, and there is a body right there. I don't really see how she could have been innocent...

Another sick violent abusive woman. I guess she wanted power and controll over this man.

I wish that Cristal Paulette Richardson had did this to Rick Perry and Greg Abbott - they are the real criminals.

that is one sick and dangerous woman who needs to be locked up for a long time. She is heavily into abusing others and now she has taken it to the extreme. now the law needs to give her the extreme with life without parole or the lethal injection.

I don't think her crime was heinous enough for the injection, but I could see life in prison-at least from the information given.

A night of wild sex gone wrong, perhaps?
10:56 PM on 05/21/2012
The police did not identify a motive, but to me it sounds more than likely that she killed in self defense.

I wonder what would happen if a guy stabbed a woman in a hotel room and cut up her genitals. I just wonder how funny that would actually be to some here. I wonder how many would say, "Geez, I wonder what she did to deserve that?" or "I bet she really pissed him off somehow."

Wouldn't we be more likely to discuss what a monster he was? Seriously, wouldn't we? A woman scorned? Great justification... She is a murderer and mutilated another human beings body. How can anyone find a happy place with someone like that.

Since you asked the question...first, men engage in rape, rape/murder, rape/mutilation, and rape/mutilation/murder at such a rate that it's not worth trying to compare to women. Men do it so much that many of their victims are just forgotten. Anthony Sowell killed at least 11 women in Cleveland, and even when he was in custody awaiting trial, another woman was raped and a police department just didn't bother to process her rape kit. Oh well. It happens all the time. It especially happens all the time to women who "don't matter"--women who may be prostitutes, or may be addicts, but who are not members of the Junior League. Those women are disregarded by the system every day.

You're angry because one woman castrated a man? You're outraged because you want some guarantee that she'll face the same prosecutorial bloodlust as a man? It's like you wanna be a victim by proxy. She'll get her turn. Meanwhile, don't you have your own knitting to mind?

"first, men engage in rape, rape/murder, rape/mutilation, and rape/mutilation/murder at such a rate that it's not worth trying to compare to women."

And men are victims of that violent crime at a rate of 5-1 over women. But that does not make me any less angry when a woman is a victim.

"You're angry because one woman castrated a man?"

Are you not? I would have to be a heartless, cold, sociopath so angry inside in order to not be angry over a monster who would kill and mutilate another human being, wouldn't I? So I would ask you, aren't YOU angry when you see this type of violent crime? Or does it completely depend on gender for you?

"You're outraged because you want some guarantee that she'll face the same prosecutorial bloodlust as a man?"

No, I'm outraged that a human being killed and mutilated another human being.

"It's like you wanna be a victim by proxy."

That is an extremely strange twist on being outraged by a violent crime. If one is ANGRY about the rape and murder of a child, are they really just wanna-be-victims? That doesn't even make sense!!

I agree with your responds, while reading his I was floored that he even took that position...I watch Investigation ID everyday and there are countless men who rape/mutilate/kill on a regular basis...like you said she'll have her day...but immediately I thought that she may have been retaliating to an attack bestowed upon her...but who knows!

She can't. She is already in jail - and will likely stay there for life.
