Default Did you have a romantic 2004 ?

Romance certainly had its rough patches in 2004.

A Norwegian court acquitted a man accused of raping a sleeping woman after he said he was also asleep at the time.

All three wives of a 67-year-old Iranian man took overdoses in an unsuccessful triple suicide bid after the youngest wife sparked jealousy by buying an expensive pair of boots.

A Malaysian man shot his wife dead after he mistook her for a monkey picking fruit behind their house.

A Spaniard tried to have his wife charged with domestic abuse because she refused to have sex with him on five consecutive nights.

Two Italians with the nicknames Bull Shark and Nurse Shark donned bubble-helmet immersion suits to get married in a shark tank.

But from Latin America to Africa, tainted love turned twice to tragedy.

A Mexican man killed his lover in a drunken, drugged fight and then cooked the man's body in tomato and onion sauce and ate it over three days.

And a Zambian man hanged himself in shame after his wife rushed into their house to investigate a noise and found him having sex with a chicken. The chicken was slaughtered afterwards.

Our Evidence professor used a similar example ("hypothetical") to explain "circumstantial evidence". The prof said imagine walking in on a guy who is wearing no clothes but has a cat covering his private parts (I rather not say what the prof actually said). You ask him to let the cat go and the man puts his hands up in the air but the cat remains stuck to his private parts. The prof remarked that such a scenario could be used as circumstantial evidence to support prosecuting the man for having sex with an animal. My comment: to rebut this legal attack the man's lawyer might argue that the cat was having sex with the man, but this is not a valid legal argument ... just "blowing smoke".

Undoubtedly Tony Bourdain (especially if you've seen his series, a Cook's Tour)...
