He has moth days? Seems like he would more likely have hippo days.

If he can’t leave his house anyway, why does he care about the house arrest?

No photos of the ‘trapped victim?’. Let me guess. At 551lbs, Mr. Goodman would not fit into the camera frames unless the photographer were to back up so much that they were outside of the house. Involving the subject in activities ‘outside the house’ would of course violate his probation, right?

On “moth days” he gets so hungry, he eats the clothes in his closet.

The judge was also worried about Goodman being exposed to unlimited prison food.

Wait... what?

Turnabout is fair play!

He’s so big he’s arrested the house!

This sounds like a job for the Moooshh. She’ll get him on a healthy diet and in no time he’ll be able to sit on the toilet rather than using the tub.

“Goodman has only left his home three times since his sentencing; which was for his visits to the hospital, religions ceremonies, and his wedding.”


Wait, so that 70-year-old, pill-pushing, 551-pound tub of lard found a woman who would marry him?

Bread and water would be cruel and unusual.
Brussels sprouts and kale would be healthier fare for the perp.

My Solomonic solution: cut him into two or three manageable pieces.
