It mattered

NEWARK, N.J.

- Authorities said that a New Jersey man who died after having his penis injected with silicone was trying to get it enlarged.

The woman who police contend gave the injection has been charged with manslaughter. She made her first court appearance yesterday.

The Essex County Prosecutor's Office said that Kasia Rivera, 34, of East Orange, gave Justin Street, 22, the injection in May. She has pleaded not guilty and remains in jail on $75,000 bail.

Street died the day after his injection.
