[Law]

If ever you think you are in danger of slipping over the line to be condemned to death by the judiciary, just murder someone or rape a child and they'll make sure you are well-fed and legally protected for the rest of your life.

No kidding. The law has gotten so absurb in this respect that some lawyers have half seriously tried to think of crimes they could charge Terri with.

Not only that, but they'll pay for a sex chnage if you want one.
