Earlier the judge directed the jury to acquit on a fourth charge.
In court earlier on Friday, Ms Kardashian, a transgender woman told her trial that she wanted to “torture” and “electrocute” the genitals of a female prisoner at Limerick Prison using an “electric rod”.
She told Limerick Circuit Criminal Court that while she was a prisoner at the jail she threatened to rape a female prisoner and sexually assault a female prison officer at Limerick Prison.
Kardashian had denied one count of threatening to kill or cause serious harm to Tegan McGhee who was a prisoner at the jail on February 25, 2023.
Kardashian, who the court heard was born a male named Gabriel Alejandro Gentile, and who received a certificate from the State recognising her as a female, also denied two counts of threatening to kill or cause serious harm to female prison officer Roisin Linnane, at the prison, on June 9 and 11, 2023.
The trial judge, Colin Daly, told the jury of seven women and five men to find Kardashian “not guilty” in respect of a third count of threatening to kill or cause serious harm to Ms Linnane on April 25, 2023.
Kardashian told the court today she wanted to make Ms McGhee and Ms Linnane “suffer” because she was upset and angry that rumours were circulating about her leaving showers dirty on the women’s landing of the prison.
Kardashian claimed today that Ms Linnane had been “openly intimidating” her on the landing, earlier denied by Ms Linnane in her direct evidence to the court.
Tegan McGhee had told the trial earlier this week that she had accused Kardashian of leaving the showers dirty.
Ms McGhee said she had the job of cleaning the showers and she had to use “a hose” a number of times to remove “body hair” from the showers.
Today, under cross examination by prosecuting counsel John O’Sullivan, Kardashian admitted she told Ms McGhee she was going to rape her with an object so that she would be so injured “so she would not be able to have children”.
When asked why use an “object” to rape, Kardashian replied: “Because I am a woman, and women use objects, that’s why I said object.”
When Mr O’Sullivan put it to Kardashian that the trial heard it was only females that the accused had threatened, Kardashian replied: “I have threatened to sexually assault males since these incidents.”
Kardashian agreed she “snapped” after rumours had circulated “for months” about her and the showers.
She said she threatened to rape Ms McGhee and “sexually assault” or “molest” Ms Linnane.
“I wanted to punish them for life for making false allegations about me…I wanted revenge”,” Kardashian said.
Mr O’Sullivan asked Kardashian had she told the court she wanted to punish the two alleged injured parties “for life”.
Kardashian’s replied: “Yes, for life”.
Mr O’Sullivan asked Kardashian had she wanted to inflict “life changing injuries” on the two alleged victims.
Kardashian’s replied: “That’s correct.”
Kardashian agreed with Mr O’Sullivan that she wanted to “torture” the two alleged victims and that they had “deserved it”.
“Yes, but the electric rod wasn’t available to me,” Kardashian said.
“It applied more to Roisin (Linnane) as I hated her more than Tegan”.
She said she “wanted to make a very extreme threat” against Ms Linnane in order “to make her suffer”.
Mr O’Sullivan put it to the accused that she intended Tegan McGhee to believe the rape threat was real.
Kardashian replied: “Yes, I wanted her to suffer. I felt she wronged me and I wanted revenge.”
Kardashian told the court: “The threats of rape were made to Tegan, not to Roisin Linnane.”
Kardashian said, in respect of Ms Linnane: “I didn’t threaten rape, I threatened sexual assault.”
Kardashian agreed with Mr O’Sullivan that a threat of rape was “possibly the worst thing to do to a woman”.
“I wanted her (Ms Linnane) to suffer as a result of being molested.”
“To molest her (Ms Linnane) was a realistic threat and I wanted her to believe the threat.”
“I remember saying to her (Ms Linnane) that I was going to molest her and sexually assault her, like my other victims.”
Barbie Kardashian told senior counsel Andrew Sexton, defending, that she felt “sad, angry and disappointed” because rumours were circulating about her leaving the showers in the prison dirty.
Aiden O’Meara, a Prison Officer at Limerick Prison gave evidence earlier that he heard Kardashian threaten to “rape” and “kill” Ms McGhee.
“I have no doubt the threat was made with malice and forethought,” Mr O’Meara said.
