The Peculiar Practice of John Ronald Brown

alon.com review by Jenn Shreve of Paul Ciotti's "Why Did He Cut That Man's Leg Off?" L.A. Weekly, Dec. 17-23, 1999

Here's journalistic voyeurism at its best. This story serves no better purpose than to entertain you with sick examples of depraved humanity, and it does so very, very well. Paul Ciotti takes us into the world of John Ronald Brown, a former unlicensed sex-change surgeon now serving time for murder. His victim? A 79-year-old man who, as one of Ciotti's sources puts it, "just wanted his leg cut off so he could get a hard-on." Brown serviced the senior's fetish, but the wound developed gangrene and the amputated man died. Murder, amputation fetishes, tales of botched sex-change surgeries with unimaginable results, blood-spurting penises ... Does it get any better, or worse (depending on your perspective), than this?
