Guy With No Arms Stabs His Father

Rory O'Connor was born without arms and he managed to find a way to stab his father. They had an argument back in November, and it got physical. Rory's dad apparently poked him with a vacuum cleaner tube, and Rory responding by picking up scissors between his toes and stabbing his dad in the stomach. His dad needed major surgery but still defended his son in court. He said his son has had a hard life, you know, with not having arms and all but didn't want the incident to ruin his son's life. The judge was a bit of a softy and sentenced Rory to 12 months of community service and rehab. The Dad described the incident as “regrettable” but said he now has a greater insight into the difficulties his son is facing. Defense lawyer Andrew Davies said Rory developed depression in his late teens, and insisted he is “a young man who cannot be judged by normal standards.”
