EXECUTION OF A SOCCER MOM
A future fiction/fantasy by Jill Crokett
Prolog
The United States had changed profoundly by the early 22nd Century. Terrorists had detonated a nuclear bomb in Southern California a half-century earlier, throwing America into a spiral of ethical decay and economic collapse.
The paranoia that followed brought on the revocation of basic rights and the amending of the Constitution - removing the clause forbidding "cruel and unusual punishment" and replacing it with a clause guaranteeing "appropriate punishment for the crime." Polls showed that most Americans agreed with the changes. Believing they were victims, they wanted justice. Feeling wounded, they demanded brutal justice. Juries handed out death bizarre sentences at an increasing rate. As a budgetary consideration, traditional 'time in prison' sentences were now frequently passed over for severe corporal punishments, all legalized by the new constitutional amendment.
America had evolved into a land emotionally numb and ethically bankrupt - a land of many victims – and in desperate need of perpetrators to punish. This is the story of Karen Sebring, a 36-year-old wife and mother who lived in that time.
Condemned
The matronly and overweight 54-year-old Women's Federal Punishment Center Warden Anne Bowden had other problem prisoners to deal with, but the high-profile capital sentence case regarding 36-year-old Karen Sebring of Las Vegas, Nevada was holding her attention. Sebring had been convicted of hiring two hit men to murder her handsome and successful casino-owner husband and his socialite mother in a bizarre eighty-million-dollar insurance and inheritance scheme. The plan was botched by the hit men, resulting in the death of not only her husband and mother-in-law, but also three other innocent bystanders, including a 7-year-old-boy.
Sebring had been sentenced to death, but for some reason the judge decided not to make the method of death know until just days before the execution. This practice was not all that unusual, since most death sentences now contained an additional punitive punishment to be applied just before death. Warden Bowden had just received word from the judge regarding both parts of the sentence, and she decided not to tell Mrs. Sebring until the morning of the execution. "There's no sense in making it worse for her," she thought. The hit men arrested with Karen Sebring had already been brutally put to death at a men's federal punishment facility.
Karen
Karen Sebring was an extremely attractive 36-year-old wife and the mother of an active 15-year-old teenage daughter. The press had labeled her both "the Princess Diana look-alike murderer" and "the soccer mom killer." The pert, early middle-aged female was 5 ft. 4 inches tall and of medium build. She weighed 124 lbs., had B-cup breasts, a narrow waist, and full, rounded buttocks. She appeared to be somewhat athletic. Her flawless fair complexion was lightly tanned. Karen had crystal blue eyes and her short blond hair was done in a carefree 'Dorothy Hamill' style. When Karen smiled she revealed dimpled cheeks and perfect enamel-white teeth. When she entered a room, she was accustomed to having all eyes on her.
The Death Room
The cavernous death chamber appeared as if it were a darkened empty high school gymnasium, or possibly a small but very clean aircraft hangar. At one end a group of well-dressed middle-aged men and women sat somewhat nervously in 23 plastic chairs lined in a single neat row facing the center of the gymnasium. There were approximately an equal number of men and women in the group, and no one spoke. The chamber echoed slightly as several of the witnesses cleared their throats. The air in the chamber was a cool 62 degrees. From the four corners of the high ceiling, stage lights illuminated the empty concrete floor in the center of the chamber. The illuminated center of the chamber was completely empty, except for a single square 4" x 4" steel post which rose to a height of only 4 feet out of the concrete. The post's height could be hydraulically adjusted. On the gray-enamel painted concrete floor, positioned 10 inches directly in front of the square steel post, was a large covered shower drain similar to what would be found in the floor of a large public shower.
Submission
At precisely 7:50 a.m. ten uniformed male prison guards carried 34-year-old Karen Sebring into the death chamber. She was securely strapped down to a 5-inch-wide "Y" shaped aluminum frame, her arms firmly restrained at multiple points straight over her head with her wrists several inches apart. The frame of the aluminum cross transitioned into its "Y" shape just below her waist, with her ankles spread a full 5 feet apart, fully separating her labia. Her legs were securely strapped to the frame at multiple points along her ankles, calves, and thighs. Torso straps restrained her at the waist and across the rib cage, just below her breasts. The aluminum cross had been custom-made to fit her 5'4" frame and its length precisely ended at her hands and heels.
As the "Y" shaped cross was carried stretcher-like into the center of the chamber, it became apparent to the experienced witnesses that Karen Sebring had just received a full obstetrical prep shaving which included her dark-pink anus. The position of her outstretched arms completely flattened her B-cup breasts, revealing only pink, rigidly erect nipples. Her mouth was secured with a ball gag which had a large breathing hole.
In the preceding hour, 34-year-old Mrs. Karen Sebring, socialite wife, PTA member, mom, and now condemned prisoner number F307746-N, had been stripped, strapped down spread eagle on a wide gurney, clean-shaven, administered an enema, and had her bladder emptied by urethral catheter – all this done in the presence of a dozen prison guards. Her body had then been hand washed and towel dried by female guards, after which she was administered three injections of medication, two designed to prevent her from losing consciousness, and the third to prevent nausea. She had not been given breakfast and she had not received anything to eat or drink since 6 p.m. the night before.
Five male guards expeditiously bolted the head and arms end of the aluminum "Y" frame firmly to the short square steel post raising out of the concrete are her floor. Karen was now upside down, the fingers of her outstretched hands almost touching the floor. Her spread and shaved naked body glistened, the stage-lights illuminating her inverted female form. Her brightly illuminated widespread legs now clearly revealed her clitoris and inner labia minora. She was directly facing the witnesses, who sat about 40 ft. away. Her only movement was that of her wide, terror filled eyes which darted around the room, and her nipples which raised and lowered with the heaving of her rapid breathing.
Final Sentence
Karen Sebring had been sentenced to death two months earlier, but the details of her execution were withheld by the court at that time, pending a sentencing review. She would now, stripped, spread, and clean shaved before total strangers, hear the final verdict of the sentencing judge.
Dressed in a dark blue business suit and white blouse, Federal Women's Punishment Processing Center Warden Anne Bowden approached Karen and addressed the condemned female prisoner.
"Karen Marie Sebring, having been found guilty of four cases of Capital Murder and one case of Child Capital Murder, it is hereby the order of the Federal High Court and with the blessing of Chief Sentencing Judge Suzanne Proler, that you shall at this hour, and without benefit of anesthesia, undergo a complete female circumcision including a total clitorectomy. This procedure will be immediately followed by a total bilateral labiectomy and nipplectomy. Upon excision, these tissues shall simultaneously be laser-cauterized to prevent blood loss. You shall be administered medication so that you might maintain consciousness throughout these procedures."
Karen Sebring's eyes flooded as tears rolled down over her forehead, soaking her tossed blond locks. Deep, hysterical moaning echoed through the ball gag, only interrupted by momentary heaving and convulsing of her chest. Though gagged, she desperately pleaded for mercy with her eyes.
"Following the completion of the punitive punishment procedures, an incision shall be made from your peritoneum, through your symphysis pubis, and down to your zyphoid process, and your internal organs will then be harvested for human transplantation. May God have mercy on your soul. You may now make a brief final statement."
As a guard released the ball gag Karen screamed, sobbing, "please no, no, don't do this, I loved him, I loved my husband so much, I promise I'll do anything, anything you ask, no God please stop, I loved my husband, please don't do this to me, please just hang me, please, please hang me. ±
With a nod from Warden Bowden the gag was quickly and firmly strapped back in place as several other guards firmly retightened all of Karen's restraint straps. Doors immediately flung open to the left of the chamber.
Nightmare
Pulling on latex surgical gloves, Dr. Wexler quickly entered the death chamber accompanied by a team of male and female assistants pushing stainless steel carts. The team was dressed in matching white lab coats and quickly took their pre-determined positions. Wexler briskly placed a cold stethoscope next to Karen's left nipple and listened against her heaving chest. Hyperventilating, saliva from her ball gag drooled down into her short blond hair.
Wexler carefully examined Karen's inverted, most-feminine tissues, spreading apart her labia, and, pulling downward, exposed her clitoris from underneath its hood. Karen could clearly see as Wexler picked up a curved, threaded suturing needle and, holding her left labia between his gloved fingers, threaded the needle through the forward lip and handed the nylon string to the assistant to his left. Firmly and totally restrained, Karen futilely tried to buck violently as he had threaded the needle through her feminine lip.
He then repeated the procedure on the right labial lip.
Wexler then instructed the assistants on either side of him to gently but firmly tug open the folds at either side of the clitoris, stretching open the inner labia minora so that he might better dissect the hood of the clitoris. As Wexler spoke, a small microphone on his lapel clearly relayed his technical-sounding voice to the witnesses.
As the assistants pulled the nylon threads to each side, stretching open the labia, Wexler's gloved middle and index fingers carefully stretched the clean-shaven skin on Karen's mons pubis, drawing back the clitoral hood. Wexler then, with his right hand, carefully threaded another needle directly up through the center of Karen Sebring's clitoris.
The witnesses sat tensed as the only part of Karen Sebring's body that she could move slightly, her head, rapidly flailed from side to side. Sticky saliva dangled from her gag breath hole as tears of humiliation and pain flung from her shaking temples and forehead. Through the gag's air hole witnesses heard the unintelligible language of horror.
A third assistant standing behind the frame, and facing Wexler, was handed the clitoral nylon thread. He held it straight up as Wexler now carefully circumcised Karen's clitoral hood and its small adjoining inner lips, making tiny snips with a small pair of chrome surgical scissors. As Karen bucked violently, screaming through her ball gag, guards retightened her restraints. Wexler instructed the three assistants to spread the labia even wider and to lift the now threaded clitoris even higher. Dr. Wexler, now using a small surgical scalpel, carefully began to excise Mrs. Sebring's most intimate feminine tissue, slowly slicing off the entire clitoris. As he did, a small amount of urine momentarily sprayed up from her urethra. Karen Sebring's beautiful face contorted, her eyes rolling up into her head.
Wexler stepped back as a fourth assistant, a female, applied a burning surgical cauterizing instrument to stop bleeding. Wexler placed the excised threaded clitoris on a small silver tray. Motioning upward with his hands, Wexler indicated that he wanted Karen to be moved higher. Immediately the 4"x4" steel post hydraulically raised up from the floor, stopping when Karen's nipples are level with Wexler's chest. She stares hysterically as Wexler picked up another threaded suturing needle with his right hand.
Firmly pinching her right nipple and areola with his left hand, and pulling it away from her body, Wexler quickly threaded the needle twice through the base of her nipple in an X fashion. Stepping aside and holding the thread straight out, Wexler pulled tight on the strong nylon thread, lifting the breast away for the chest. He then picks up a slightly larger pair of stainless surgical scissors, and with the same slow, methodical motions he used to excise the clitoris, Wexler then slowly snips away at Karen Sebring's beautiful nipple at its base. The assistant quickly cauterizes the breast tissue as Wexler repeats the procedure on the other nipple.
The hydraulic post lowers closer to the floor as Wexler picks up a new surgical instrument, an electric surgical scalpel, which automatically cauterizes as it cuts. As he turns it on a small short laser-like flame emits from the knife handle. He then sets the instrument back down and picks up a blue felt tip marking pen. Turning back to face directly between Karen Sebring's legs, he begins drawing a line with the pen from her anus out around to her moans pubis, making a football-shaped drawing around her labia. He then continues to draw downward over her symphysis pubis with a single line which continues to her navel. He makes a small cross line at the navel and then continues with a single line down to her sternum. Wexler then turns toward Warden Bowden and says "tell the transplant team we'll be ready for them in two minutes." She nods.
Wexler turns his back to Bowden and, turning on the electric surgical scalpel, begins to cut a circumscribed area around Karen's entire external sex organ as she convulses and screams against her restraints. Wexler then sets down the electric scalpel, picks up a pair of surgical pliers, and with a yank rips away Karen's left labia. He quickly repeats the procedure on the right. As Karen's contorts in pain and horror, one assistant cauterizes between her legs and another administers an injection to keep Karen conscious.
Wexler again picks up the laser-scalpel and turns it on.
A horror beyond death
"Wait one moment Doctor" Warden Bowden calls out, "there is one final thing I need to say to Mrs. Sebring."
The female Warden steps forward toward the convulsing prisoner. Bending slightly at the hips, she leans forward and looks directly into the terror filled eyes of the condemned Karen Sebring and whispers:
"Mrs. Sebring, I need to tell you that just this morning federal investigators informed me that your daughter Sandy has been arrested as a co-conspirator with you in the death of her father and grandmother and the others. She's been charged as an adult with five Capital counts, including one count of Child Capital Murder. I just want you to know that, if she's sent here, we'll take good care of her."
As Bowden steps away, her back toward Karen, she announces to the witnesses that Mrs. Sebring will now be put to death.
As the Organ Harvest Team enters the chamber, Dr. Wexler, holding his laser-scalpel, begins slicing the beautiful soccer mom from her pubis to her chest.
