Prosecutors say a man shoved a cell phone down his girlfriend's throat because he was angry and jealous. But defense attorneys insisted as a trial got under way that the woman swallowed the phone intentionally to keep the defendant from seeing whom she had been calling.

Marlon Brando Gill, 24, is charged with first-degree assault in the December incident involving 25-year-old Melinda Abell. Abell has given inconsistent accounts of what happened before she was taken to a hospital, where an emergency room doctor removed the phone.

She testified Tuesday on the first day of Gill's trial that she couldn't remember how the phone got in her throat, saying she had too much to drink that night.

She said in court that she could not recall writing a statement to police after the incident, in which she said: "I think he thought I'd been talking to other guys. ... He took my phone to see who I had been calling."

The statement added: "If I didn't want him to see my phone, I would have just thrown it out the window and busted it."

Much of her testimony centered on her relationship with Gill, of Kansas City, which started in 2004.

"It was good at first, then it got rocky," Abell said.

She testified that he had verbally and physically abused her, but under cross-examination she acknowledged she never told police about the abuse and continued to live with Gill until the cell phone incident.

Hopefully there aren't several occurences of someone swallowing a phone to the point where no one can keep track of all of them.

you want to erase the phone numbers? swallow the sim card, not the entire phone.

he may have waited for the phone bill to come in the mail as well, is she going to eat that too ?

That is what happens when they keep making the phones smaller and smaller.
