Sometimes I think it should be sufficient to warrant a "not guilty" verdict.

Too many loony shits in the world.

3. Speaking of crazy excuses, check this out.
This is one sick guy.

The Associated Press

EASTON, Pa. - A man who pleaded guilty to molesting two girls told a judge he did it because of his wife's excessive bingo playing.

"My wife was never home," Floyd Kinney Jr., 49, told Northampton County Judge F.P. Kimberly McFadden during his guilty plea hearing Friday.

Kinney's explanation did not sit well with McFadden.

"Some people, when their wives are not home, decide to do other things, like clean their living rooms," McFadden said. "Your behavior is beyond the pale, as they say. There's no excuse for it. It's despicable."

5. Over the years,
I have come to the conclusion that not everyone thinks on the same "wave length". I was watching a documentary about serial killers recently. One killer, who had killed three teenage girls and had just heard the verdict of "guilty" said, "I don't know why everybody is getting so excited. They were just girls." And another serial killer made the statement, "I always thought that killing people was just a way of living life."

Scary isn't it? We just don't know who is living down the street or who we are standing next to in line at the grocery store.
