Man Sends Bomb To Doctor After Penis-Enlargement Surgery
Man Sends Bomb To Doctor After Penis-Enlargement Surgery

POSTED: 1:43 pm EDT April 5, 2006

PHILADELPHIA -- A man pleaded guilty to weapons of mass destruction charges for sending a mail bomb to a Chicago surgeon he said botched his penile enlargement surgery, though his attorney questioned whether the charges fit the offense.

Brett R. Steidler, 25, of Reamstown, Pa., mailed the explosive device in February 2005 because he was "extremely unhappy with the results" of the $8,000 surgery, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jennifer Arbittier Williams said in court filings.

But Steidler alerted authorities before the bomb arrived and it was retrieved from the mail and disarmed. His attorney, Luis A. Ortiz, said Steidler is mentally ill and noted the difference between the roughly 2-year sentence for mailing a letter bomb and the 4- to 8-year sentence for using a weapon of mass destruction.

"You shouldn't group this guy with people who drive truck loads of explosives to buildings or gather anthrax or do things for political reasons," Ortiz said.

2. One size fits all?
He only made it to 30 CMs, well under the national average according to my confidential sources at the Harvard Lampoon...

14. In answer to your thoughts:

I seriously doubt if anyone has gone in for a reduction however sometimes it would be a good idea.

9. Somone set us up the bomb.
Hey, if a regular conventional explosive device is now considered a WMD, then Sadaam was guilty!

This says it all.

12. It's because now when he grabs it like a baseball bat.
He pissed on the last 6 fingers instead of the 8 fingers he used to.
