A similar story from my own proud neighborhood a few years back—which, while not as heartless, is certainly a competitor for disgustingness: the young man who, driving home drunk from a bar with a friend in the passenger seat, maneuvered too close to a telephone pole, causing his pal (who’d been hanging his head out the window) to be decapitated by a guy wire. The driver, failing to notice (or later claiming so) his friend’s headless corpse spouting blood and gore from the neck stump, successfully drove the remaining ten miles to his home, went inside, and passed out in his blood-soaked clothes.
“John Hutcherson, covered in blood and visibly inebriated, was arrested in bed on Sunday morning after a local resident out on a stroll observed a headless, bloody body hanging out of the 21-year-old man’s truck,” according to a news article.
I’m not sure if they ever determined whether or not he was able to speak in the 2 hours after the accident.
What I never quite understood was the “homeless” status of the victim (Biggs). The media photographs were of him in a suit, and his family kept talking about certain events that he wasn’t able to attend due to his death. Was he just between residences, or was he actually living on the streets or in shelters?
FYI, if you haven’t read it, they’re mounting (heehee!) a new defense of the guy’s conviction for sex with a dead deer, because in a different case a court determined that sex with dead humans wasn’t illegal in Wisconsin, so imprisoning someone for sex with a deer would kinda be overkill.
Maybe it’s an american thing, but when I hear the words “morning constitutional”, I think of someone taking a dump.
So, when I read that choice of phrase in your post, the guy must be taking care of business on the front lawn, like a dog. Depravity, indeed! Will it never end?
CSI did it at least once. Don’t know about Law and Order. In CSI the corpse-rapist was an obnoxious asshole who made his living selling footage of drunk young women flashing their boobs. Like that real-life guy, whats-his-name.
