Seriously this is really gross:
Like I said... gross:
Mary K. Brown had plans for a dying man's foot, according to a recently filed affidavit.
As the registered nurse amputated her patient's right foot on the afternoon of May 27, she told colleagues that her family owned a taxidermy shop, the affidavit alleges. Her co-workers recalled her saying that she planned to take the 62-year-old patient's foot from the nursing home in Spring Valley, Wis., and display it at the shop.
According to them, she said she wanted to put a sign next to it: "wear your boots kids."
I just...
Important context: The man was reportedly on hospice and suffering from severe frostbite – his foot was suffering from major necrosis (AKA the foot was dead).
Still, the whole taxidermy thing...
After amputating, Brown talked about taxidermy and mentioned the "wear your boots" sign, both nurses told the sheriff's investigator. Nurse 3 said Brown mentioned taking the foot home to epoxy it, among other things, the affidavit states.
"She thought it was weird that Brown wanted to bronze the foot," Koch wrote in the report.
This is no minor rap, either. I can't believe I need to say this, but don't cut body parts off people.
We don't really want to share more of the details of how said foot was amputated — it's worse than you think — but suffice it to say prosecutors are not prepared to take it easy on her:
Brown ... faces up to 92 years in prison if convicted.
