Murdering the dead - a first degree syntax crime.

My sister Tammy sent me this picture that she took off of her television the other day. It's a good example of how important sentence structure is . . .


So two things went terribly wrong here: 1) she got convicted for "murdering her husband shortly after his death" (a crime, incidentally, that is punished by lethal injection after you're executed) and 2) she got convicted when she got sentenced instead of getting sentenced when she got convicted. This is either a poorly worded sentence or a case out of Louisiana.

In either case, someone have her call me - I know a good lawyer . . .
